The frames are set, and Tampa is ready to roll!
The Tampa Animation Festival will return from 5 to 8 November 2026. Launched in 2018, a celebration of extraordinary animation from around the world bringing four days of animated storytelling, creative conversations and screen-time treats to the University of Tampa in Florida.
The festival will take over the Charlene A. Gordon Theatre at the Ferman Center for the Arts, with all screenings free and open to the public.
Animation fans can look forward to a celebration of the medium, with the festival spotlighting animated films and the creative techniques that bring stories to life. From independent storytellers to emerging talent, the event offers a platform for animation to take centre stage.
The festival’s full programme, screening schedule and guest announcements are expected to follow in the coming month.
