A Bit About JAFAX...

The Japanese Animation, Film and Art Expo, or JAFAX, is West Michigan's first, biggest and longest running event all about Japanese Animation, Comics and Culture. Once a year, at the end of June, we gather on the campus of Grand Valley State University and have a fun weekend full of Events, Panels, Showings, Vendors, and Artists(both voice and visual, professional and novice).

As you can see we have a new look to our site. Since Youmacon is rapidly approaching we wanted to get our new page theme in place just a bit beforehand. There will be further updates in the look.

Much of the site right now is just our general information, with the specific details coming in the next few months. We typically have a big content update in late February. But in the mean time head over to our Forums or our Facebook page to plug into our online community.

JAFAX 16 was a great success, thank you all for coming! We'd like to thank our guests, our vendors, our sponsors, all our volunteers and the staff who worked on the event. We would also like to thank Grand Valley State University for making it possible, and everyone who attended. We look forward to seeing you all again next year, June 23rd and 24th, 2012, for JAFAX 17.

Apparently our local Applebees is pretty awesome. They are doing a promotion for JAFAX where if you eat at the Lake Michigan Drive Applebees and show them this coupon, they will donate a portion of the bill from your meal to JAFAX. You get to eat, we get more funding to keep making JAFAX more awesome. This Offer has expired.
