Singapore’s ACG event calendar keeps filling up for mid-year, and the latest addition is one to bookmark: Aozora Market is coming to Suntec Convention Hall 405 on 18–19 July 2026, with free entry and a full artist alley for anime, cosplay, and gaming fans.
What Is Aozora Market?
Aozora Market is an artist-focused anime, cosplay, and gaming (ACG) convention created by the team behind Hanami Market. The concept centres on the Artist Alley — a floor space where illustrators, crafters, and doujin creators set up tables to share original works and fandom-inspired art directly with attendees. If you’ve been to Hanami Market before, think of Aozora as the same community spirit, scaled up for a Suntec hall.

What to Expect Inside
Artist Alley is the beating heart of the fair, with illustrators, doujin creators, crafters, TCG designers, and makers sharing their work. The organisers describe it as a space where “original works, fandom-inspired creations, and the artists who bring them to life” all share the same floor — a welcome contrast to commercial-heavy expos.
Beyond the tables, there’s a Stamp Rally: collect stamps from participating booths and redeem them for exclusive prizes — a nice reason to wander the full hall rather than beelining for one or two favourite artists. There will also be a dedicated trading card games (TCG) section connecting fan-made card creators with players.
Collaborations with cosplayers and brands are still being confirmed, so expect more announcements from the organisers in the weeks ahead. Follow @hanamimkt on Instagram for the latest updates.

Free entry, Suntec, a proper artist alley, and a stamp rally — Aozora Market has all the ingredients for a strong mid-July weekend.
