Desucon
Finnish anime convention
Desucon is an anime convention held in the Sibelius Hall in Lahti, Finland, for fans of Japanese folk culture.
History
Desucon was held for the 14th time in 2023. Since 2016, attendance has been limited to only those over 18. In addition to the main event held in June, a winter-time Desucon Frostbite is organized in either January or February. Both events were on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic starting from summer 2020.
Organization
The events presented include lectures, workshops, cosplay, an artists' alley, a merchants' hall, a games area and video screenings. The Desucon events also welcomed many Japanese guests, ranging from seiyuu to singers, mangakas, speakers and filmmakers.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Desucon” as finnish anime convention. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as finnish anime convention. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5486803. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2016 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
