Thank you for your interest in the inaugural AniPop! The debut of AniPop will be taking place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido!
AniPop vendor booth spaces will be 10 feet x 8 feet and include one 6-feet table and two chairs to all vendors. Vendors may bring additional tables, displays, racks, shelves, etc, so long as it does not exceed the allotted space nor intrude or encroach on your neighbor's space. Vendors will be placed indoor.
