We know we are getting into the heart of spring when the events calendars begin to overflow. That time is now.
Several of our favorite annual events/series in Cape Girardeau are about to get started. A reminder:
Cape Anime 2026
The annual festival opens at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 18, at the Show Me Center. The two-day extravaganza (also opening at 10 a.m. Sunday, April 19) will feature several standards — gaming tournaments, Cosplay Karaoke and plenty of vendors — as well as special guests detailing their acting exploits and answering fan questions. This year’s guests include actors and voice actors — four of whom are “Death Note” alums — Alessandro Juliani (“Death Note”, “Battlestar Galactica” and “Smallville”), Brad Swaile (“Death Note”, “Dragon Ball Z” and “X-Men: Evolution”), Colleen Wheeler (“Death Note”, “Kong: King of Atlantis” and “The Willoughbys”), Brian Drummond (“Death Note”, “Spider-Man Unlimited” and “Inspector Gadget”) and Ian James Corlett (“Dragon Ball Z”, “Beast Wars: Transformers” and “Destiny 2”).

Farmers markets
Old Town Cape’s Riverfront Market will open at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 2, running each Saturday through Oct. 31.
To call the weekly event just a farmers market is to grossly understate what the event has become. It is a mini-festival, packed with food and craft vendors, music, entertainment for youngsters and a jovial spirit that packs Spanish Street.
