They’ve honed their craft and now they’re ready to share it with the world. Be in awe when you meet all of our talented cosplay guests. They’ll be photo ready and can’t wait for you to see them.

Some of the greatest cosplayers in Canada are taking the stage in their best looks. Hype up your faves during Masters of Cosplay: Maple Leaf Qualifier Qualifier and see which competitor will take the crown and represent Toronto at MEGACON Orlando. It’s history in the making. Don’t miss out.

All weekend in Cosplay HQ - North Building

From stunning builds to iconic recreations, the Cosplay Showcase is where fandom meets craftsmanship. Come celebrate the talent behind the costumes.

Are you a novice cosplayer? Compete in your first competition in this beginner costume contest. To enter, you need to create at least 50% of your costume yourself, but no other experience is required. Get ready to give that runway your all and compete for the cosplay crown. Registration information coming soon.

Ready for the Cosplay Red Carpet? There's no pre-registration, no competition, and no stress. Walk the red carpet to show off your cosplay in front of adoring fans and get a professional photo taken by our official red carpet photographer.

It's FAN EXPO Canada’s cutest event. Come cheer on future cosplay stars at the Kids' Cosplay Red Carpet. Registration will take place 15 minutes before the event start time.

This is where the cosplay community comes together to celebrate everything you love. Connect with fellow makers at the Cosplay Showcase, snap pics at the Photo Park, link up with local community groups, and find your people.

From fabrication to acting, our line up of pros are on hand to show you how to take your cosplay game to the next level. Attend a panel, check out a demo, or meet them one-on-one. Check the schedule closer to the show for panel topics and times.

Who are you dressing up as? If you’re looking to take the ultimate group photo with cosplayers from the same fandom, look no further than our Cosplay Meetups. Check the schedule closer to the show for specific days and times.

Take a break from the show floor and recharge in the Cosplay Hideaway, the ultimate chill spot for cosplayers. This is your go-to retreat, whether you need to cool off, fix a wig, patch up armor, or just hang out with fellow makers. Plan group photos, swap some tips with new friends, and do it all while keeping your cosplay con-ready for the next big moment.

Our secret judges will roam the halls of FAN EXPO Canada once a day looking for the best, strangest, most creative, and most obscure cosplays to award. You don't need to attend a meeting, get on a stage or even sign up. Just get in your cosplay and have a great day doing what you love—sharing your fandom with others.

Wrap up each day with a crowd of capes, wigs, armor, and attitude. These massive meetups are open to all cosplayers, no matter the fandom or format. Come through, make it iconic, and snap some legendary pics.

Finish your look. Whether you’re hunting for that perfect wig, the right prop, or an entirely new outfit, our retail floor is packed with all the pieces you need to make your cosplay dreams a reality.
