Fans show up in costume, usually wearing their favorite character or one that looks like them (or, sometimes hilariously and sometime nauseatingly, does not... imagine for a moment a 250-pound guy dressed as Sailor Moon). There are ramp shows, invited personalities and showcases.
It's always fun to cosplay at anime convention such as Comic Con, Anime Expo, ot Fanime. But you could just go to Japan town in San Fransico.

At anime conventions, some voice actors who play the voices of anime characters go and sign autographs and answer questions for fans about them. You can cosplay, and there are sometimes cosplay competitions, such as best dressed and most original. There are often anime screenings, AMV contests, workshops, and role playing. It's a really fun experience, over all!
You should cosplay your favourite character from a game or anime or anything in general.
Anime and other conventions like Sakura con or comic con. You could also convince your friends to do minimalist cosplays with you, for instance, I have convinced my brother to cosplay Yato from Noragami. He is just wearing a track suit and a ripped loose scarf.
