Spectacular Events
Every year we host events and activities that deserve special mention. They're unique. Fun. Engaging. We want to make sure you know about them!
And you have access to all of it* with your Single Day (for the day you're attending) or Full Event Badge.
You'll find just some of these Spectacular Events below, and we'll keep adding more till our show arrives this May!
*Seating is not guaranteed at any specific event due to room capacity limits; we do not clear panel rooms between events. A few workshops, charity fundraisers, or special events require a separate paid admission.
Cosplay Karaoke
What could be more fun than getting together with all your friends to sing your favorite songs? Doing that, but in Cosplay. Cosplay isn’t required, but it will sure make your performance memorable.
