ONE PIECE fans in North America rejoice! ONE PIECE Fest is finally coming to the US. The event is locked in for August 25th and August 26th at Cosm Los Angeles. It’s going to be a pretty massive event since the venue is 65,000 square feet.
Toei Animation is aiming to get around 7,000 fans at the ONE PIECE Fest
But it might not be that easy to get in. The attendance is not a free-for-all ticket drop. You actually have to go through a lottery system if you want in. Registration for that is already open on the official website, and it closes on May 14th. If you get picked, you’ll hear back by May 21st with details on how to actually buy the tickets.
Before the main event even starts, there’s also something extra happening. On August 24th, which is the day right before everything kicks off, Toei Animation is putting together a private VIP Preview. It’s invitation-only and will be for special guests and media.
During the actual ONE PIECE Fest, there will be two sessions per day, each with about 1,750 fans. Every session will have its own mix of panels, live performances, experiences, partner activations, giveaways, and exclusive merchandise.
One of the big highlights is the Elbaph Experience inside The Dome. It’s presented on a huge 87-foot diameter LED dome using a 5,000 square foot 12Kx10K display at Cosm Los Angeles. It leans heavily into the pirate adventure vibe that defines the series and the journey of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew.
The ONE PIECE Fest event will be a giant walkthrough of different arcs and locations from Eiichiro Oda’s series. You’ll get a ton of areas to explore. Some of them are East Blue, Impel Down, Alabasta, Water Seven, Davy Backfight, Thriller Bark, Skypiea, Amazon Lily, Wholecake Island, Marine Ford, Zou, Punkhazard, Elbaph, Enies Lobby, Sabaody Archipelago, Dress Rosa, Fish-Man Island, Egghead, and Land of Wano.
