La Vila Joiosa Manga Fair

The Villajoyosa Manga and Japanese Culture Fair is an event dedicated to manga, anime, video games, and Japanese culture that brings together fans of all ages every year in an atmosphere brimming with creativity, entertainment, and alternative leisure activities.

Organized by the Department of Youth, the fair features artists, companies, cosplayers, and specialized associations, offering a packed schedule of activities. Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy lectures, workshops, contests, video games, an escape room, a shopping area, exhibitions, and hands-on activities, in addition to the now-traditional cosplay contest—one of the most anticipated highlights of the event.

In addition, the fair is often complemented by cultural events related to Japan, such as temporary exhibitions of contemporary Japanese art in the area around La Barbera dels Aragonés, making it an experience that combines leisure, creativity, and culture.

Now firmly established as one of Villajoyosa’s premier youth entertainment events, the Manga Fair attracts numerous visitors from across the province every year, making it an essential gathering place for lovers of manga, anime, and Japanese culture.
