Cosplay is more than just putting on a costume. It is fully immersing into the recreation of a character from a published work via costuming and acting. This can take shape in the form of perfectly styled hair; carefully applied makeup; masks, props, character voices, to acting as the character. All of these elements come together during cosplay.
There are multiple ways to embrace cosplay at Comicpalooza. You can dress up, walk around, become part of the experience, participate in our annual cosplay contests, or cheer on fellow cosplayers!
