MAID CAFE
Maid Cafe is a long-time SwampCon event, and one of our most popular. It consists entirely of volunteer Gainesville college students who have worked for months rehearsing K-Pop, C-Pop, J-Pop, Vocaloid, and Anime dances to perform for you here at SwampCon. In addition to this spectacular entertainment, Maid Cafe also offers free food and drink, which makes for a splendid way to start your con day.
Maid Cafe is operated in 15 minute blocks–the first 10 for eating, drinking, and chatting with the maids and butlers, and the last 5 for the performance. Please be sure to arrive early, as we typically have lines out the door. Hope to see you there!
