Sticker Con Manila Kung Anik Anik Year 2: Everything We Know So Far

(SPOT.ph) It's almost no exaggeration to say that everyone has keychains and trinkets—your beloved anik-aniks—hanging from their bags. And don't even get us started on the widespread obsession with plushies and blind boxes. The bottom line is, people just can't get enough of cute trinkets, fanmade or not. If you can relate, then we have some good news: Unique and handmade trinkets, stickers, accessories, tiny toys, and more abubots from local artists and brands will all be in one place again for Sticker Con Manila's ultimate art and merch market: Kung Anik-Anik.

Sticker Con Manila's Kung Anik-Anik is back! Here's what we know so far:

Sticker Con Manila has been putting together artists and lovers of colorful anik-aniks (a.k.a. everyone) since what feels like forever. Say, since 2018? At least according to their Facebook page. They're the ones behind PlannerCon, too. This upcoming bazaar is already Kung Anik-Anik's second run, and it's happening on May 3 in Bayanihan Center, Pasig from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Registration for artists, crafters, and makers has already begun.

At the fair, expect booths upon booths of artists showcasing their art and merch. It'll be overwhelming, especially when you're going to go in blind—so keep an eye out for your priority art. Before Kung Anik-Anik, we recommend checking the exhibitors-slash-artists who will be participating, and hitting their booths first on the day of the event. After that, you can meander around the venue for as long as you like, discovering new knick-knacks to add to your collection and meeting fellow trinket lovers. 

There were DIY-slash-design stations aside from the usual exhibitors. There were tons of stickers, cute charms, keychains, figurines, accessories, totes, and more during the first run in October last year. Some are from anime or television series, K-pop groups, and their original art and characters. Check out last year's Kung Anik-Anik run below:
