Connichi - an anime manga convention
From September 4 to 6, 2026, Wiesbaden will once again become a gathering place for fans of anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture. Connichi, Germany’s largest volunteer-organized anime and manga convention, invites you to the RheinMain CongressCenter.
For three days, visitors can look forward to a diverse program created by fans for fans. The program includes workshops and presentations, live performances, contests, karaoke, and games. Vendors, exhibitors, and the creative fan community will also be showcasing their offerings. A special highlight is the Matsuri, which invites visitors to explore and linger with Japanese food, traditional games, and the atmosphere of a Japanese summer festival.
Cosplay is also an integral part of Connichi. Elaborately designed costumes can be showcased in various photo corners and at special photo spots around Wiesbaden. For Connichi guests, Wiesbaden Congress & Marketing GmbH also offers a photo spot tour aboard the small THermine tram. The Kurhaus is also available for exclusive cosplay photos.
Connichi has been held in Wiesbaden since 2023 and connects the international anime and manga scene with the capital of Hesse. To wrap up the convention on Saturday, the Connichi Party at the Schlachthof Cultural Center will feature anime, J-rock, J-pop, and K-pop music.
