About This Event
Smoky Mountain Anime Fest is a regional anime and Japanese pop-culture convention held in the Gatlinburg–Pigeon Forge area of eastern Tennessee, staged at the 1870 Sports World venue in Pigeon Forge. The event brings together fans for panels, guest appearances, artist alley and vendor halls, cosplay contests, and community-driven programming around anime, manga, and gaming. It is notable as a primary fan-run gathering serving the Smoky Mountain region and attracting cosplayers and hobbyists from across Tennessee and neighboring states.
