Convention calendar for Nuremberg and Franconia

For Nekodanshi, Nuremberg is not an anonymous search term: this is home. We know the short distances between Nuremberg, Fürth, and Erlangen, the Franconian community network, and the special feeling when a familiar hall fills with cosplays, fan booths, and artist tables.

The region offers more than just anime and manga. Gaming, fantasy, science fiction, tabletop, and LARP also have their own events. Which one suits you best depends less on the number of visitors than on your interests and the pace you want.

Current dates for Nuremberg

Our calendar is constantly updated and is therefore a more reliable basis than a static yearly list. Open the Convention calendar for Nuremberg, check the desired entry, and then confirm tickets, program, weapon rules, and last-minute changes with the organizer.

FrankenMEXX and the regional scene

FrankenMEXX

FrankenMEXX is one of the defining anime, manga, and Japan meeting points in Nuremberg. Marketplace, stage, creative offerings, and fan activities combine the classic convention experience with a strong sense of community. Many people come not only for a specific program item, but to see familiar faces again. Our FrankenMEXX guide helps with orientation; dates and current rules can be found in the calendar and with the organizer.

Fantasy, games, and science fiction

Nuremberg and the surrounding area have a strong gaming, fantasy, and science fiction culture. Such events can be just as interesting for elaborate costumes, props, or character portrayal as an anime con. But always check whether cosplay is explicitly part of the format and which safety rules apply.

Do not underestimate small meetups

Smaller fan and community meetups have less stage programming, but often more room for conversation. For a first visit, that can be more pleasant than a crowded hall. Respect private group rules and do not post meeting points or photos without asking.

How to prepare in Nuremberg

Save the VGN connection: Also think about the return trip to Fürth, Erlangen, or the surrounding area.
Plan for cobblestones: Spare shoes and transportable props are worth their weight in gold in the old town.
Read the weapon check in advance: Material, dimensions, and construction matter, not just obvious danger.
Build in breaks: Food, water, and a quiet moment are part of the plan.
Respect photo rules: Ask before taking and publishing pictures.
