The Summer Festival 2012


July 21, 2012 @ SFU Burnaby, Convocation Mall

About The Summer Festival

The Summer Festival is an annual event hosted by the Altered Reality Club, SFU’s club for anime, cosplay, and gaming. Modelled after matsuri festivals in Japan, They deliver a day filled with carnival-style games, entertainment, artist and vendor booths, and food stalls. Participate in these fun activities for raffle tickets which can win either one of several door prizes, or the exciting chance to smash a watermelon on-stage! Attendance is absolutely FREE. They encourage cosplay or yukata!

Impression

The festival was quite entertaining, especially the contest. It is worth travelling one and a half hour to get there. I saw a lot of awesome cosplays and met amazing people. Their carnival-style games also handed out raffle tickets that have a chance to win great prizes. Moreover, there were a lot of awesome anime flyers such as poster, buttons, and arts. Even though I was a little disappointed about the fact that they don't have panels, I still had a lot of fun there.
