FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE BIG ANIME PUB CRAWL RETURNS — LONG BEACH, CA
MARCH 11, 2026
Long Beach, CA — After years away from the spotlight, a proven nightlife concept with deep roots in hospitality and fan-driven culture is officially back.
​
Built on decades of experience spanning iconic venues, house-party culture, and high-volume pub crawls,
The Big Anime Pub Crawl is a fully immersive, anime-inspired nightlife experience designed for movement, connection, and shared energy.
​
This is not a convention.
This is not a viewing party.
​
On March 11, 2026, the relaunch begins in Long Beach, California as partners from previous tours reunite to bring anime culture to life — bar to bar, dance floor to dance floor — in a single, high-energy night.
Confirmed participating venues include Shannon’s on Pine, Agaves Ultra Lounge, and Altar Society Brewing & Coffee Co, with additional locations to be announced.
