If you’re looking for the perfect weekend escape from Santa Fe, Anime New Mexico 2025 is the ideal destination. Presented by Fandom Events, the largest independent anime convention company in the U.S., this weekend extravaganza promises a celebration like no other. This spellbinding event returns to the Embassy Suites in Albuquerque March 28–30, 2025.
Anime New Mexico isn’t just an event — it’s a place where anime fandom comes to life, offering a multitude of different experiences for enthusiasts of all ages. Take in captivating panel discussions and electrifying performances at this one-of-a-kind convention.
Meet Your Favorite Voice Actors and Performers
Some of the biggest names in English voice acting are heading to Anime New Mexico, including stars from One Piece, Genshin Impact, and Dragon Ball Z. Mara Junot, Phil Parsons, and John Gremillion are among the industry icons set to make an appearance, offering fans a chance to connect with the voices behind their favorite characters.
A Weekend Packed with Excitement
Anime New Mexico lets you experience anime from every angle — shop for unique merchandise, cosplay as your favorite character, engage in interactive experiences, and meet voice actors and fellow cosplayers. Weekend tickets are $55 and include access to dozens of parties, concerts, and programming events from Friday at 3 p.m. until Sunday at 5 p.m. Day passes are available for $30, providing single-day access to all events and activities on the chosen day. For an enhanced experience, VIP passes are offered at $100, granting exclusive benefits such as priority seating, special event access, and additional perks.
Fandom Events owner Josh Wilson says a common misconception about hotel anime conventions is they are similar to comic cons, which are “come-and-go events,” which is not the model for this weekend.“This truly is a vacation retreat for fans of cosplay, manga, and anime. Coming only for an hour or two would be a travesty since there is so much to do over the weekend,” Josh explains.
An Immersive Anime Experience
If you’re traveling from Santa Fe, Anime New Mexico is more than just a day event; it’s a weekend getaway. Embassy Suites Albuquerque is offering special room rates for convention attendees. You’ll be able to enjoy a full weekend of anime events, with plenty of opportunities for fun all day!
When asked what is there to do for three days, Josh says, “There is so much to do — shopping, cosplay, attending panels and performances, meeting guest voice actors and cosplay guests, attending an authentic Japanese maid cafe and escape room, grabbing a NERF gun and fighting your way through a zombie dungeon, grabbing a foam sword and fighting in a live-action roleplaying tournament, and catching live concerts, performances, karaoke parties, and an anime rave.”

For those seeking the ultimate anime adventure, VIP passes offer early entry, exclusive merchandise, line-skipping privileges, and priority seating at concerts and programs. Elevate your convention experience to new heights with this premium package.
