The highly anticipated TOYCON Summer Prelude is set to return with a massive expansion, transforming Okada Manila into a dual-hub celebration of pop culture, collectibles, and cosplay. For the first time, fans can experience the TOYCON vibe across two distinct event areas, offering double the excitement and double the fun this April 11–12, 2026.
As a major lead-up to the upcoming TOYCON X, this year’s Summer Prelude promises a comprehensive experience for hobbyists, families, and entertainment enthusiasts alike. Admission to the event is completely FREE and open to all ages.
Two Venues, One Epic Experience
The Crystal Pavilion (12:00 PM – 10:00 PM): The hub of the classic TOYCON experience. Attendees can browse a massive array of toys and rare collectibles, explore diverse exhibitor booths, meet special guests, and participate in high-stakes trading card tournaments.
The Garden (3:00 PM – 12:00 AM): Step into the open air for the Cosplay Fiesta. This outdoor venue features a vibrant summer-themed setup, interactive fair-style booths, an artist alley showcasing local creative talent, and nonstop photo opportunities against the garden’s scenic backdrop. The evening will be capped off with a lively night market, perfect for late-night shopping and socializing.
Hassle-Free Access
To ensure a seamless experience, TOYCON is offering a complimentary shuttle service to all attendees. Shuttles will depart every 30 minutes from the Mall of Asia (in front of Pet Express) to The Garden at Okada Manila, running from 11:00 AM until 12:30 AM.
Event organizers encourage all attendees to check the specific schedules for each area to maximize their visit. Whether you are a dedicated collector or a cosplay enthusiast, the TOYCON Summer Prelude offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture before the monumental celebration of TOYCON X.
