HEROESCON LOVES OUR COSPLAY COMMUNITY!

We welcome Cosplay and Cosplayers of ALL AGES!

While we no longer hold a Costume Contest at our show,
that’s only because we don’t like the idea of dubbing people “winners” or “losers”.

Regardless if you have a movie-worthy ensemble, or if you have simply glued some felt to a t-shirt... ANYONE who takes the time to make a costume is a winner in our books!

No one should ever feel uneasy about suiting up for the HeroesCon!!

Our incredible Cosplay Coordinators will host daily Cosplay Masquerades, as well as panels and workshops all weekend!

We will post our HeroesCon 2023 CosPlay Event Schedule closer to the show. Stay tuned for updates!

- Heroes
