Speaking of the 2018 edition, we received word concerning the final count of attendees! We were approximately 2350 in Pavillon Desjardins-Pollack during that weekend, discovering and spreading the love for Japanese culture and its various aspects! Thank you so very much!

While all the organizers, staff, guests, merchants, artists and atteendees rest after a lively year, Nadeshiko and Saito are already getting ready for what’s coming next…

The theme for the 2019 edition of Festival Nadeshicon is Japanese mythology!

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that, despite everything going on, it is very important for you to stay hydrated, to sleep and to eat. When it comes to eating, you really have no excuse; there’s food everywhere!
 
Starting on site, we have our very own Nadeshicon Café, situated in the Gaming Room, where you will be able to get hot dogs and donuts for a very low price. In the Dealers Room, you may find the Fanamanga serving various dishes and beverages at the counter. Are also on site the Fou AELIÉS Café, the university pub, and the Chez Alphonse convenience store.
 
Just a short distance from the venue, one may find Place Ste-Foy and Place Laurier, both of which host a number of food counters, and Pyramide Ste-Foy, in which various restaurants do business. Also right next to the campus is La Cuisine Ludique, the gaming restaurant that is helping us with the Gaming Room this year! Head over there and enjoy the atmosphere, as well as the delicious comfort food.
Variety is really not an issue here, so go ahead and eat your fill! After all, having fun is good and all, but taking care of yourself is just as important! See you tomorrow!

Association de Chado Urasenke Tankokai de Québec will be hosting the tea ceremony!

Events, Nadeshicon 20180
You know, sometimes a festival can be a bit hectic, so how about a quick break from it? Its roots deep within Japanese culture, tea has developped, over the centuries, its own customs and traditions. The tea ceremony, through which they take shape, will allow you to escape the craze of the con and live a peaceful and enlightening experience.
 
You may find the Association de Chado Urasenke Tankokai de Québec’s bio in the Guests section.

Martial arts exhibitions!

Events, Nadeshicon 20180
