MizumiCon briefly in ENGLISH
MizumiCon is a new Finnish convention where cosplay, creativity, anime, and well-being come together! We organize two events per year in Central Finland.
MizumiCon’s name is a combination of the Japanese word for lake, mizumi (湖), and con, which is short for convention. This is because our conventions are held at Spa&Resort Peurunka in beautiful lakeside scenery. The winter event has an icy twist with the Japanese word for ice, kōri (氷), added at the end.
Our conventions welcome everyone of all ages, but specific activities (such as the evening party) may be age-restricted.

Organizers
MizumiCon is organized by the non-profit organization Laukaan conittajat ry (aka Lacory). The organization was created to bring fans more opportunities to enjoy Japanese popular culture and related hobbies in Laukaa. All the staff at the cons are volunteers, giving their time and effort out of love for con culture!
