- Night Market
- Delight in a curated selection of tastes and treats crafted by local chefs, inspired by the vibrant street markets of East, Southeast, and South Asia.
- Dancing in the Forest of Lunarda
- Step through the portal into an interdimensional sanctuary under the Lunarda Eclipse. Let DJ Sake Bomb’s hypnotic beats and Aleksa Manila’s magnetic presence guide you through an electrifying Anime Rave where music becomes pure euphoria. Stay for the Midnight Rite and embrace the magic before the sun breaks and the portal closes.
- Cosplay Contest

Whether your inspiration comes from folklore, mythology, or pure imagination, step into the moonlight to showcase your creativity and compete for prizes, celebrating the limitless artistry of storytelling through cosplay.
