Kita-Kon is a non-profit, fan-run anime convention, hosted by the Lakehead Anime Society. The convention takes place annually in August, most recently at Lakehead University. Kita-Kon hosts a wide variety of programming in several themed rooms, such as viewing rooms, panel/workshop rooms, gaming rooms, and a dealer's room. There are also several special events held throughout the convention such as the cosplay contest and Kokoro Cafe, Kita-Kon's maid cafe.

Programming
The event's first year was planned as a small gathering and only had a small amount of content planned such as a Cosplay Contest and Viewing Rooms. The following year the convention expanded to include more content such as a Dealer's Room, Artist Alley, AMV contest, gaming room, and panel & workshop space.

History
The first convention was held at Lakehead University in 2007, with conventions being held at the Victoria Inn and Valhalla Inn in subsequent years. In 2012, Kita-Kon returned to Lakehead University after attendance dropped in 2010.

Mascot
Yukino, Kita-Kon's mascot, was designed by the artist known as Kaze-Hime.
