Put on your best costume and get ready to strike a pose solo or as a group with unique backdrops at our free Cosplay Photo Park.

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.

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.

Hair clips, swords, and bracers tied up with string, these are a few of our favourite things. Whether you’re looking for the finishing touches to your cosplay or a whole new fit, our massive retail floor will have what you're looking for.
