Anime, gaming, cosplay, and finding your people at Youmacon 2026
Today we're leaning into the "where to go" part of Daily Detroit, with a look at Youmacon at Huntington Place this weekend.
We talk with Youmacon CEO Eric Gaiser and music department head Marcus Cooper about anime, gaming, cosplay, and a music lineup that brings those worlds together.
We get into what's new and why having a place to find your people matters. Plus, we talk about what exactly what you'd need for a proper Prince of Brightmoor cosplay — and yes, the Casio watch is required.
More on Youmacon.
