| Unfortunately due to a scheduling conflict with our regular hotel, we have been forced to re-locate Nashville AnimeDay across the street for 2026 to the Clarion. Because of this we will only have enough space for a marketplace this year and we will not be hosting any costume contests or panels. We know the this isn’t ideal and because of that, we are collaborating with the New Leash on Life animal shelter to make admission 100% FREE! We hope to be back to 100% in 2027 but please come down to the Clarion Inn Murfreesboro at: 2227 Old Fort Pkwy, Murfreesboro, TN 37129 …this December 12th to get some Christmas shopping done and say hello to other Anime Fans at our free AnimeDay market! |
