Zenkaikon 2026: Sakura Themed 20th!
May 15th, 2026 Cinna Knight Zenkaikon held its 20th anniversary event this year! The con returned to the Lancaster County Convention Center and nearby Holiday Inn Zenkaikon had a cherry blossom theme and stepped up the decor even more than their previous year! Beautiful lights, parasols, and lanterns dangled on the ceiling. Social media posts and badge designs also tied the theme together. The con had 9,287 attendees, an increase from 7,400 attendees last year. Zenkaikon is a solid convention which continues to grow exponentially.
Cosplayers had even more photo ops to choose from. They could go over to the photography booth upstairs, or if they wanted some more shots, could also pose by pre-made scenes, such as a balloon cherry blossom tree. The convention also improved signage and moved registration to a separate room and area.
