Desucon 2027
Desucon Frostbite is the winter edition of Desucon, a Finnish convention for anime, manga and Japanese popular culture. The 2027 edition runs from 22 to 24 January 2027 at Sibeliustalo, the Sibelius Hall concert and congress centre in Lahti.
Desucon is run by a volunteer association and has been held since 2005, with a summer event in Lahti and this smaller winter edition. The programme mixes fan panels and lectures with talks on Japanese society and media, cosplay competitions, music and dance performances, gaming rooms and workshops. Desucon Talks, the event's lecture track, brings in academic and industry speakers alongside fans.
The dealer hall sells manga, anime merchandise, figures, art prints and handmade crafts from Finnish and Nordic sellers. Attendance is by convention ticket rather than trade registration, and the organiser recruits volunteers and programme hosts months ahead of each edition. The venue sits beside the harbour in central Lahti, within walking distance of the railway station.
