The Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth will host a convention in April for fans of anime, gaming, and pop culture.
Nishi Fest is a multi-day experience where anime and video game fans can meet like-minded people and participate in themed activities. Many special guests will be at the festival, such as Yaya Han, Anya Braddock, and Inspector Lemon. Attendees can meet with famous cosplayers and enter into cosplay competitions.
