Naruto + Boruto Gathering 2026

Name of the gathering: Naruto + Boruto gathering
This Gathering Includes: All Naruto and Boruto cosplayers and fans!

Hello, this is Sam (IG: sfcphoto_). I hosted this gathering last year at Fanime and have hosted other gatherings around the Bay Area. The turnout was great last year, and a nice crowd is expected this year too! If you saw a Naruto cosplay group at Anime Impulse Bay Area or the Flow Concert, that was probably my group. Photos of previous gatherings are on my IG account.

If you're interested in being a co-host or helping with photography, please reach out! I could especially use help with planning from someone familiar with Boruto. Due to the anticipated crowd size, I could use help with a wide range of things before, during, and after the event.

Day: Sunday
Time: 2pm
Location: G10 Marriot side mural

Discord for all my Norcal Naruto events and meetups: Norcal Naruto discord. Feel free to join to coordinate, view/share photos, and connect with your fellow Naruto/Boruto fans for Fanime and beyond! Discord photos can be much higher quality than on Facebook/Instagram so I'll primarily be using Discord to distribute photos after Fanime.

Updated with gathering details and social media. Looking forward to seeing all of you!

Due to requests from attendees with conflicts (masquerade competitors etc), I will do what I can do accommodate smaller group photos about 15 minutes before/after the actual 2-3pm time slot. I'll have my own professional camera to help when I'm not leading the actual gathering. My younger brother will be taking photos on my camera during the gathering slot.
