There's dress up...and then there's Cosplay. Cosplay is the art of recreating a character through costumes and accessories. Participants work year-round to perfect outfits for Phoenix Comicon's competition, held each year as part of the programming. These costumes are some of the most detailed, elaborate out there and you can have a sneak peek. Not sure what cosplay is? This event will be eye opening.

Make it a night on the town. Space 55 will have an improv performance at 9pm or head over to First Friday.

Are you a past cosplay participant that would like to show former costumes or what you've been working on? Email communityoutreach@phoenixcomicon.com for more information. Spaces are limited.
