GalaxyCon’s Animate Columbus returned to the Greater Columbus Convention Center from June 12–14, 2026. This was it’s fourth event and it has continued to gain popularity, drawing in crowds from across the midwest.
Fans had the opportunity to meet with an incredible roster of creators and voice talents. Voice actors in attendance included the cast of Avatar: The Last Airbender as well as several other well known voices such as Linda Larkin, Courtney Lin, Justin Briner, and Brandon Rogers. The creative lineup included animators and designers such as Peter Raymundo, Steve Garcia, Mervyn McKoy, and Stephen Silver. Other notable guests included Erica Lindbeck, Elizabeth Maxwell, Jamie Marchi, and Michaela Laws.
Cosplay was the centerpiece of the event, featuring workshops with guest builders like Heartless Aquarius and intense craftsmanship competitions. In the marketplace, Artist Alley showcased independent makers, while exhibitors offered rare manga and imported figures.
Thanks to Teresa ReeseKup Williamson we get a brief glimpse of the cosplay that was on the floor for this event.
