Cosplay meet-ups, book signings, conventions, art nights- Pop Cultured hosts all this and so much more in our gaming room.
Join us at Pop Cultured for our next Trinket Swap—an easygoing, delightfully chaotic little gathering where you can trade charms, pins, beads, mini oddities, and all the pocket-sized things you can’t resist collecting. Come solo, bring a friend, or just follow the sparkle.
Bring a handful of trinkets to swap (or grab something in store). We’ll also have Mill City Trinket Trader popping in with a hands-on workshop to turn your finds into wearable keychains.
No experience needed. Come hang out, swap something weird and wonderful, and leave with tiny treasures you’ll want to carry everywhere.
Books, but make them fancy.
Join us at Pop Cultured for a laid-back, wildly satisfying Book Bedazzling event just in time for Mother’s Day weekend. Whether you’re coming solo, bringing your mom, or your most craft-obsessed reader friend, this is your excuse to make something ridiculous and beautiful.
Bring your favorite book or buy one in store. We’ll have all the rest of the supplies ready for you. This is a free event.
No experience needed. Come hang out, get a little crafty, and leave with a book that has main character energy.
We’re taking over the sunny patio at Middlesex Community College (just across the footbridge from the shop) for a casual Summer Social, cosplay style.
Cosplay photo walk, book swap and so much more is on the agenda. Not to mention a mini marketplace of handmade vendors inside Pop Cultured.
Thank you to everyone for attending the first Holiday Anime Fest!

Pop Comic Con ‘24 such an amazing event!
Many thanks to everyone who made Pop Anime Con ‘24 the amazing event it was- from our contest judges, to our staff, to everyone at the mill, to everyone who came out for the day. Stranger than Fiction is the hilarious improv group that ended the evening with Anime-Osity. And the strolling magic was brought to you by Ryan Wallace, the Nerd Magician.
We’d like to give an extra big shout out to our vendors who brought everything from collectibles to handmade, comics to art, and everything in between. Please check out all these amazing people, see what events they’ll be attending next, and continue to shop and support them all year round:
