Chico CAP-EX 2026

About this event

Chico CAP-EX 2026 is a two-day celebration of anime, cosplay, gaming, voice actors, artists, vendors, live entertainment, and all things pop culture, taking over the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico on October 17–18. The weekend will feature dozens of vendors and artists, cosplay guests and contests, panels, gaming, karaoke, tabletop games, family-friendly activities, and LIVE professional wrestling on Saturday, plus plenty of opportunities to meet fellow fans. Kids 12 and under get in FREE, and parking is FREE all weekend. This year’s voice actor lineup includes Dallas Reid (Asta in Black Clover), Jill Harris (Noelle in Black Clover and Fern in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End), Christopher Guerrero (Valtos in Black Clover and Eisen in Frieren), and Jordan Dash Cruz (Stark in Frieren), bringing together major cast members from two of today’s biggest anime franchises. With Black Clover returning in October 2026, the same month as CAP-EX, it’s an especially exciting opportunity to meet the voices behind these fan-favorite characters, grab autographs and photos, and hear from the actors themselves.
