Prior to the opening of the Persona 20th FES anniversary event, being held between December 8 and 18, 2016, 1up Information Bureau has published preview images of the event’s venue at Arts Chiyoda 3331, in Akihabara, Tokyo.

Famitsu has also provided pictures, after the festival’s debut.

For pictures of recently announced figures from the event, see this previous post.

Visitors are greeted by mascots Teddie and Morgana, where people can take a commemorative photo.

The entrance to the “Persona 20th Festival” is a tunnel with the icon of the strange “Metaverse Navigator” application which appears in Persona 5. Inside the tunnel, greetings can be heard from a certain person.

Heading towards the exhibits, the Phantom Thief’s “Morgana Car” can be seen, where visitors can take a commemorative picture.
