Grab your foam swords and get ready to throw down. Join this epic convention foam party where heroes, villains, and cosplayers collide in safe and hilarious foam combat. Test your skills in open sparring, then enter the 1v1 Foam Fighting Tournament for your shot at glory, and of course, great prizes.
