Kitsune Kon is an annual three-day anime convention held during July at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Programming

The convention typically offers arcade gaming, artists’ alley, a boffer (foam weapons) room, costume contest, dealers’ hall, formal dance, and gaming (console, table top, video). Its formal dance benefited the American Association for Cancer prevention in 2016.

History

Kitsune Kon moved to the KI Convention Center due to growth. Complaints about the 2017 convention included a lack of food options, shortage of staff, and issues with the local Green Bay population. Kitsune Kon 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
