About Anime St. Louis
Anime St. Louis is a St. Louis-area anime convention held at the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, Missouri. The 2027 edition runs April 22–25, and for that year the organisers have set a soft attendance cap, so any day can sell out.
Weekend badges went from $60 (sold out) to $65 in the second pre-registration round and $70 at the door; single days are $45 to $60, children 7–12 pay $35 and kids 6 and under are free. Chaperone passes are available for parents of minors.
The Cosplay Contest has walk-on, skit and craftsmanship categories across skill divisions. Realistic firearm props, live steel and dull metal swords are banned; props should be wood, foam or plastic and cannot fire anything.
