Kumoricon is an annual three-day anime convention held during October at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. The name of the convention comes from the Japanese word Kumori</i> (曇り), meaning cloudy. Kumoricon is run by a volunteer staff and was previously held in Vancouver, Washington at the Hilton Vancouver Washington/Red Lion Vancouver at the Quay.

History
The convention originated from the anime club at the University of Oregon. Due to the convention's growth, in 2011 it was held in both the Hilton Vancouver Washington and the Red Lion Vancouver at the Quay. Kumoricon expanded to four days in 2014. Due to growth and lack of space, Kumoricon in 2016 moved to the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. Demolition of Red Lion's Centennial Center and Kumoricon using six hotels also influenced the decision.
