Anime Night at Rumba Cafe – Columbus, OH

See Anime Night Live in Columbus on Saturday, February 14, 2026, Doors Open at 8:00 PM

Whats an Anime Night?Listen, we get it. This whole anime music in clubs thing? Doesnt exactly come with a guidebook. Anime Night is what we like to define as the median between concert and convention. Think all the fun stuff you love at conventions like cosplaying, vendors, etc… but at a rock show. Seriously. Our event consists of three main parts, keep scrolling to learn more.Pre-ShowEvery show starts with doors opening an hour before we kick off the party. At this time, the show floor is open and all vendors are ready to sell. This is the opportune time to try some of our drink specials, do some shopping, and register for our cosplay masquerade. We set the mood with our curated anime lo-fi playlist, to help ease you into a night of music.Part 1: The Anime PartyOn a typical event, we open up the night with a set of your favorite anime music to get you hyped. Were talking your favorite openings, endings, and OSTs, handpicked and built out with our own production, complete with our custom built AMVs. The stage is typically ran by our Cosplay Hosts and the vocalists of The Anime Band, but occasionally, we do bring in a guest DJ to spin some of their best anime remixes.Part 2: Cosplay Contests & MasqueradeThis is one of our favorite parts of the night. At each Anime Night, we hold a pre-registration for local cosplays to sign up for our cosplay contest, and as they choose their characters, we work with them to pick music and video for them to give them a brief presentation that becomes part of the show. Think like, professional wrestling style walk-out music, but with an anime cosplayer heading to the stage. After we announce the winner, for anyone who missed the registry, or didnt want to participate but still wants to show off their cosplay, we briefly give them a chance to come on stage and show off their work, without all the bells and whistles.Part 3: The Anime BandOur live anime tribute band. Every show we close out with a ninety minute set of live music from our house anime tribute band, The Anime Band. This means all the production of the The Anime Party set, but with a full seven piece live band. With three rotating lead vocalists, we cover a wide array of material from all eras, styles and sounds, that weve carefully crafted from all the unique attributes and characters that make up the musicians in The Anime Band. We respect this music a lot, its important to us that if were gonna do it, that we do it right.For more info please visit: https://theanimeparty.com/
