Harumatsuri is an annual 1-Day event held in the spring, serving as a light version of the annual 3-day convention in the summer. Harumatsuri is made of the Japanese words for spring (haru, 春) and festival (matsuri, 祭り) and is held with a special focus on Japanese arts and culture. In addition to their themed elements, Harumatsuri offers many of the traditional Anime Evolution summer events on a smaller scale including panels, video and AMV showings, gaming, artists alley, and vendors.
