Sac-Anime is a semi-annual anime convention in Sacramento, California. The convention is the sister convention to the Sacramento Anime, Toy, and Comic Show, which is also known as Sac-Con.
History[]
Sac-Anime is the show where "Fans Come to Play". Their philosophy has always been to provide fun, safe, family friendly entertainment at a reasonable price. Sac-Anime began as an extension of our quarterly Comic, Toy and Anime Show (SAC-CON), which has been running in Sacramento, California since July 1, 1986. Originally a strictly comic book show, SAC-CON has grown to encompass all forms of pop-culture entertainment, with a large emphasis on anime & manga.
In 2004, the manager of Waldenbooks' Sunrise Mall store approached Sac-Anime with the idea of organizing an anime show to be held at the Sunrise Mall. Always willing to jump into the deep end without knowing how to swim, they gave it a try. Thus, on the last weekend in July 2004, Sac-Anime was born.
In January 2005, Sac-Anime was brought to the Scottish Rite Center, home of SAC-CON. It was a great success, with over 1000 fans in attendance. The following July, they returned to the Sunrise Mall. It was also a success, however due to problems inherent with a mall environment, they decided to move Sac-Anime back to the Scottish Rite Center, where it stayed for several years.
In August, 2009, due Sac-Anime's continued growth, the show was moved to the Radisson, which gave more room for special events. If the show continues to grow, rumor has it will move to another location, possibly the Sacramento Convention Center.
