Cosplay, or “costume play,” is a fun way for convention-goers to express themselves, be creative, and make new friends. WonderCon is a fan favorite convention among cosplayers. Cosplay is in no way a requirement for attending the convention. It is optional for all attendees.

You can usually find several fan-organized cosplay meetups throughout the weekend as well as a Cosplay Competition hosted by the Convention. This is basically a talent show before a large audience, showcasing amazing costumes crafted by non-professional attendees.
