You don't need a pass to Anime San Diego 2026 to purchase a pass for the afterparty!

When the sun goes down, the Hidden Leaf turns up.

​

On Saturday, September 5, Shonen Riot is taking over Anime San Diego for Hidden Leaf After Dark, the official destination for anyone who isn’t ready for the night to end.

Expect a full-scale anime nightlife experience packed with DJs, dancing, cosplay, high-energy production, and a crowd ready to party like they just survived the Chunin Exams.

​

Whether you spent the day hunting autographs, shopping the vendor hall, or showing off your cosplay, this is where everyone comes together after hours.
