Anime Expo Chibi will be back this fall.

Revealed yesterday, the two-day convention will take over the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California on November 8 and November 9. Early bird two-day tickets are available to purchase here. Children ages 13 and under are available to come for free with an accompanying guardian.

Debuting in 2022, Anime Expo Chibi is a smaller-scale version of Anime Expo. A description of the event reads:

anime expo chibi, also known as “axc”, is a smaller-scale spinoff convention that will afford fans an additional, cozier opportunity to share their love of Japanese anime and pop culture on November 8 & 9, 2025 in Ontario, California. This event serves as a marketplace showcasing the exhibit hall and artist alley. Inspired by the adorable art style, axc is a convention aimed at celebrating what truly makes Anime Expo so incredible - YOU!
