Toei Animation has announced that the first-ever One Piece Fest will be held this coming August in Los Angeles, California. The One Piece–themed two-day event will be held on August 25, 2026 and August 26, 2026 and will take place at Cosm Los Angeles in the Inglewood area.
One Piece Fest will be scheduled as two sessions per day and have a total of four sessions for the duration of the event. It will feature several panels, live performances, activations, and exclusive event-only merchandise available for purchase to attendees. English voice actors and Japanese music guests are also slated to make an appearance at the event and will be announced later.
A special immersive “Elbaph Experience” in The Dome presentation will also be featured in a stunning 5,000 square foot 12K by 10K display on Cosm Los Angeles’ 87-foot diameter LED dome. Guests will be able to view the presentation throughout both days of the festival.

Registration for the lottery is now open and will close on May 14, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST. Attendees will be notified of their selection via email on May 21, 2026, which includes a purchase link and single-use access code. Session selection is on a first come, first served basis. Digital tickets will be delivered to purchasers via email and sent 10 days before the event starts.
A private VIP Preview (by invitation only) will be held for special guests and media a day before the event starts on August 24, 2026. In addition, the complete programming schedule will also be released on the event’s website later in the future.
VIZ Media describes the main premise of the One Piece manga series as:
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer “Red-Haired” Shanks. But his life changed when Luffy accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure…one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…
