Anime North (AN) is a not-for-profit, fan-run anime convention, held every year in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its major attractions, activities and events include industry guests, fan-run panel presentations, workshops, video presentations, gaming tournaments, musical performances, dances and cosplay. The show has two shopping areas, an "Artists Alley" for artworks and crafts and a general "Vendors Hall".
The second-largest anime convention in Canada by attendance numbers (after Montréal’s Otakuthon[3]) and located near Toronto Pearson International Airport, AN is held at the Toronto Congress Centre, the Delta Airport Hotel and Conference Centre and the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel, all of which are within walking distance of one another on Dixon Road. Convention-run shuttle buses are available during daytime and the evening to connect the venues.
