Bak-Anime is an annual two-day anime convention held at the Kern County Fairgrounds in Bakersfield, California by the staff of SacAnime.
The convention typically offers an artists’ alley, card game tournaments, cosplay contest, dealer's room, and a swap meet.
[4][5][6] The convention began due to the requests of fans from the Bakersfield Comic Con.
[7][8] Bak-Anime in winter 2013 moved to the Bakersfield Marriott due to growth and for the fall 2013 event expanded to two days.
[1][7][8] The expansion in the fall was considered a risk due to the increased costs of events run at that time of the year.
