Uma Luna New Year took place on February 28, 2026 at the Asian Garden Mall in Westminster, CA. The indoor Vietnamese mall has stood in the heart of Westminster’s Little Saigon district for as long as I can remember. I would go here to get cosplay accessories and outfits if I needed to modify them, especially if it were for East Asian characters. 2026 brought in the Year of the Fire Horse. The Uma Musume fandom is very much leaning into the zodiac theme.<\/p>\n

Parking…the greatest enemy of any SoCal driver<\/p><\/div>\n

Giant Uma!<\/p><\/div>\n

Blooming Ash Events hosted this event. I heard about Luna Uma New Year shortly at Anime Los Angeles when my friends and I joined the Uma Musume meet up server. My friends and I were wondering where all the cool uma’s were hanging out. We vowed to check out the next local event.<\/p>\n

Hope y’all get rich<\/p><\/div>\n

This event took place outdoors in the warm Orange County sun. Even though parking at the Asian Garden Mall is the pain in the arse, we managed to snag a spot.<\/p>\n

We made it just in time for the Uma Musume Cosplay meet up where horse girls and trainers took group photos in front of the mall.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
