Capital City AnimeFest is a single day anime convention made by fans for fans! We host events and activities in partnership with local organizations and colleges to bring you things like gaming, tournaments, live music, artist alleys, food trucks, fan run panels and workshops, and much more!

CCAF is located in Trenton, NJ at Mercer County Community College’s James Kerney Campus.

Both Buildings on the JKC campus are up code!

 Each building is equipped with elevators to access each floor (including the entrance of the main building). Parking for attendees with Accessibility needs will be located near the entrance of our main building.

Our Volunteers and staff would be happy to assist you for any accommodations you need!

We have many sign up forms depending on your interests! We have sign ups for the artist alley for local artists who make their own merch, panel and workshop sign ups for fans who want to host talks or activities for other fans, gaming tournament sign ups, cosplay competitions, and much more!

Those who wish to volunteer should apply via our form!

CCAF is inclusive of fans of japanese pop culture and media of all ages, genders, and national origin (although minors should always be accompanied by an adult!).

Minors attending Capital City AnimeFest (15 years and under) are welcome to come enjoy our event as we consider ourselves and our programming to be “family friendly”.

Any 18+ panels will be marked as so on our convention’s programming.

Parking around Trenton is very scarce! We highly recommend you carpool to the event to reduce the amount of cars parked around the area.

The nearest parking garage is an approx. two minute walk from the convention (Trenton Parking Authority Parking Garage).

There is also the Liberty Commons Parking Garage that is an approx. 6-7 minute walk.

Nope! Only dress up if you want to! Cosplay is a tradition to do at anime conventions, but it isn’t required. Although, it is highly encouraged (and it doesn’t have to be professional, just have fun!).

CCAF is a curated show that prioritizes artists and vendors who make their own merchandise or sell legitimate products that relate to Japanese and American pop culture.

We also do not accept vendors who use AI or drop ship to sell their wares.
