History

Sac-Anime began as an extension of the quarterly Sacramento Comic, Toy and Anime Show (Sac-Con).[3] The convention was originally known as the Sacramento Anime & Manga Show and became an semi-annual event in 2005.[6] Due to the summer conventions growth, it moved to the Sacramento Convention Center in 2013.[4] The Winter 2013 show was also moved to the Sacramento Convention Center.[7] The Summer 2013 event shared the Sacramento Convention Center with the Sacramento Greek Festival, and with the convention badge attendees could enter festival for free.[8] The convention expanded into additional space in the Sacramento Convention Center, along with holding some events in the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. The Winter 2014 convention continued to utilize space in the Sheraton Grand.[9] A marriage proposal occurred during the costume contest.
