Aftershow Party – the convention highlight for everyone who doesn’t want to go home after the program
An aftershow party is the perfect closing event for any con day: when the last panels end, cosplay weapons are safely packed away, and the convention grounds slowly wind down, that’s when the real fun begins. On Nekodanshi, you’ll find current events tagged aftershow party – from club nights and official con parties to community meetups with DJ sets, karaoke, or dance floors.
Whether you want to meet new people from the scene, celebrate with your group, or simply extend the convention atmosphere: this category collects the parties centered around conventions and anime, manga, gaming, and pop culture events.
What to expect at an aftershow party
- Party location & vibes: Club, event hall, bar, or official con area – often with a scene-friendly atmosphere.
- Music & DJs: A mix of J-Pop, K-Pop, EDM, pop, rock, anime openings, or gaming soundtracks (depending on the event).
- Community meeting point: Relaxed networking with cosplayers, photographers, artists, and fans.
- Specials: Karaoke, dance battles, themed rooms, photo spots, drink specials, or small live acts.
- Cosplay-friendly: Many aftershow parties are cosplay-friendly – with consideration for wigs, props, and makeup.

Tips for a good (and stress-free) aftershow party
- Check cosplay rules: Some locations don’t allow large props or masks – read the event information.
- Comfort first: Spare shoes or a small repair kit can save the evening, especially with elaborate costumes.
- Plan your way home: Late hours mean checking public transport, ride-sharing, or nearby accommodation.
- Respect & consent: Photos, closeness, touch – always ask first. Good party vibes depend on consideration.
