Animate! Raleigh is an annual three-day anime convention held during January or March at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The convention is organized by GalaxyCon.
Programming The convention typically offers autographs, cosplay wrestling, costume contests, panels, tabletop gaming, video gaming, and vendors.
History Animate! Raleigh held its first event in 2024 and will be located in Raleigh through 2030. The 2026 event was postponed from January to March due to a roof fire at the Raleigh Convention Center in December 2025. Animate used two-thirds of the convention centers space and shared the venue with the SAVMA Symposium, while having main events in the Raleigh Marriott City Center's ballroom.
