Anime Night Mart Las Vegas 2026 at Heinrich YMCA

Anime Night Mart returns to Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday, August 29–30, 2026 inside the Bill and Lillie Heinrich YMCA at 4141 Meadows Lane. The organizer currently lists Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m.

Admission is free if you reserve an Eventbrite ticket ahead of time. Walk up without that RSVP and the door fee is $5, so the practical move is grabbing the free ticket link from animenightmart.com before the weekend. The ticket listing also includes free YMCA parking, which makes this easier than a Strip convention weekend.

This is a community market more than a multi-hall expo. The current event art promises vendors, music, food, raffles, K-pop, a scavenger hunt, and a cosplay contest. Expect artist-alley energy rather than a full convention floor plan. The ticket rules require a parent or legal guardian for attendees under 14.

Our take: if you are already in town for Talofa Fest the same weekend, Anime Night Mart is the indoor afternoon stop that keeps the calendar Japanese-pop without another long drive. Grab the free ticket first, then decide Saturday versus Sunday based on your Talofa timing.

When: August 29–30, 2026 (Sat 1–8 p.m.; Sun 12–6 p.m.)
Where: Bill and Lillie Heinrich YMCA, 4141 Meadows Lane, Las Vegas, NV

The Eventbrite header currently compresses the weekend into a 1–6 p.m. range, while the organizer page gives day-specific hours above. Confirm the final schedule and reserve free admission through animenightmart.com before you go.
