Can my kid enter the cosplay contest?

Yes. Animexx runs it on the main stage. In 2026 you emailed CosplayWettbewerb@animexx.de a few days before with your name and the character and series of the costume.

Are there toilets and first aid?

Yes. Both are marked on the organizer's site plan, along with the info stand and every food stall.

About

Munich's Japanese community takes over the lawn between the Haus der Kunst and the Japanese Tea House for one summer Sunday. Martial arts groups demonstrate on the grass, a cosplay contest takes the stage, and food stalls sell takoyaki, mochi and melon soda. Past stage programs have mixed school dance groups, taiko drumming, shamisen and a Bon dance at the end that anyone could join.
