Kogaracon

And that’s a wrap 🎥 to Kogaracon 2026!

We are forever grateful to the community we created here in Central Jersey filled with Anime, pop culture, gaming, and thank you for showing up and supporting every year.

We truly try each year to make it better than the last.

Thank you to our staff, Middlesex College Staff, Guests of Honor, food vendors, vendors, industry/musical guests 🎶, and sponsors! Our event ran smoothly because of your help and we couldn’t have done it without you!

✌🏻 See you at our next event! 🫶🏼

P.S. we will have our feedback survey out next week once we’ve all fully recovered.😅

Kogaracon is coming up this weekend! We have a full weekend of fun activities that are planned by the local community to celebrate Kogaracon!

Welcome home, Goshujin-sama!

Machi Mahou Maid Café is a city pop inspired, magical girl maid experience bringing the heart of the Akihabara maid café experience right to you. Our magical maids are so excited to guide you through a super special hands on experience where you get to create something truly your own.

Join us at Kogaracon 2026 on May 2nd, with our first session starting at 12 PM. We’ll be running 4 sessions throughout the day and they fill up fast, so make sure you grab your spot early, Goshujin-sama!

This year we’re hosting our Magical Girl Wand Workshop. You’ll be guided by our maids to design and create your very own custom wand to take home. Every ticket includes a full crafting session and a complimentary maid performances.

A few important notes:
This is a crafting based maid café experience and we will not be serving food
This is a separately ticketed event and requires both a Kogaracon badge and a café ticket
Guests under 6 are free but must be accompanied by a ticketed adult
Walk ins are welcome based on availability but sessions do sell out

We can’t wait to welcome you into our magical city. See you soon, Goshujin-sama 💫
