Fanfes 2025 is set to make waves as it returns to One Ayala, Makati City on May 17–18, 2025. The summer convention, organized by Cosplay.ph, follows its successful 2024 debut at its new 2,700-square-meter venue and continues its annual tradition as a post-Cosplay Carnival celebration.
The event features over 100 exhibitor booths across Halls A to D, showcasing a wide range of anime merchandise and fan-made collectibles including artwork, stickers, apparel, and keychains. Highlights include the Cosplay Auction, where bidding starts at just one peso, and All Star Avenue, spotlighting top-tier cosplay talent.
Stage performances are set to entertain attendees with Anisong Unleashed and Cosplay Karaoke. Interactive games such as Price Fight, Guess the Sketch, and Facepalm the Music also return. Cosplayers can participate in the Solo Cosplay Catwalk or compete in the new Sun and Sea Cosplay Competition, featuring fire- and water-themed summer designs.
A key attraction this year is guest cosplayer Rithe, known for representing Singapore at the World Cosplay Summit. Recognized by international gaming and tech brands, Rithe is scheduled for stage appearances, merchandise signings, and meet-and-greets.
