Raleigh Convention Center Food Options

Worried that you won't have the strength to carry your bags of anime? Your stomach might growl through the concert? Have no fear, we are happy to announce that the RCC will open its concession stand starting at 11 on Friday morning. They will sell Pocky and Ramune!

Please pay attention to the hours of operation and plan your meals accordingly.

Raleigh Convention Center Food Policy

Unfortunately, the Raleigh Convention Center has a No Outside Food policy, so we cannot provide food on RCC grounds. You will not be able to bring food into the Raleigh Convention Center. Food will not be for sale in the Dealer's Room. We will also not be able to provide or sell food outside of vending hours (see above), so you should plan your weekend's dietary needs accordingly and make sure you follow healthy eating practices throughout the weekend. You are still free to eat food in your hotel rooms and in public places (such as the open area in front of the Progress Energy Center) provided you do not litter or leave a mess. If you order food, please have your food delivered to your hotel instead, as pizza places won't deliver to the Raleigh Convention Center.
