Anime NebrasKon 2026 takes over the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs from Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, 2026, bringing the region's largest anime and fandom convention back to the Omaha metro for a full three-day weekend. While anime is the headline, NebrasKon has become a genuinely worthwhile stop for trading card collectors and players, with a vendor hall and tabletop gaming space that lean heavily into the TCG side of the hobby.
The Mid-America Center sits just off Interstate 29 at exit 53 in Council Bluffs, five minutes across the river from downtown Omaha, with a large free parking lot and hotels within walking distance.
