Since 2022, FumaCon, an anime and comic convention organised by Seishonen Guyana, has hosted its event at the Guyana Marriott Hotel.
Over the years, FumaCon has made noticeable expansions and improvements with its event offerings. From introducing workshops for the first time in 2023 to partnering with Corporate Guyana to create limited edition food items and even working alongside international embassies like the Embassy of Japan and Brazil to offer free workshops and panels, FumaCon has established its brand as the ideal place for people of all ages to participate in competitions, workshops and immerse themselves in cultural and educational experiences that aren’t typically offered at any other event in Guyana.
However, instead of hosting its 4th edition this year, Seishonen Guyana made a strategic move to take a break and instead worked on collaborating with the corporate sector to make FumaCon a success. This resulted in a successful collaboration with MODEC Guyana Inc. the event’s Title Sponsor.
Consequently, the next edition of FumaCon promises to be the biggest anime and comic convention experience yet as it’ll be held on July 4th & 5th, 2026 at the Guyana Marriott Hotel. By selecting CARICOM weekend, we are providing our attendees, sponsors and vendors with an ample opportunity to rest the following day after an extensive lineup of activities for both days. This will be the first time that Guyana will be hosting a 2 day anime and comic convention similar to other international anime and comic cons.
Beside its date expansion, FumaCon will also be providing new workshops, panels, gaming areas and a debate room. Similar to other anime and comic conventions, we will also have international special guests like Ray Chase, a mainstream voice actor whose work has been featured in popular anime like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Jojo Bizarre Adventure, X Men 97 etc., and in notable video games like Final Fantasy and Genshin Impact.
Seishonen Guyana has also collaborated with Cosplay Alliance, a reputable Toronto-based cosplay community recognized globally for its role in promoting cosplayers through social media. Through this collaboration, we’d also be bringing an International cosplayer.
Seishonen Guyana continues to strive towards innovation, creativity and the advancement of youth, tourism and culture in Guyana.
As part of our regional outreach, we’ll be offering tickets through Potsalt, a proudly Guyanese-built platform. This will make it easier for audiences across Suriname, Brazil, and the wider Caribbean to join in and experience Guyana’s rich and diverse anime scene firsthand.
Entry Passes and More guests to be announced soon. FumaCon2026 is kindly supported by MODEC Guyana INC, the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Cosplay Alliance, Prem’s Electrical, the Guyana Tourism Authority, Marketing Advertisements for Developing Enterprises (MADE), Rakiyomu Books and the Sach Store.
