A VERY COSPLAY CHRISTMAS

The WAUCHOPE COSPLAY FESTIVAL presents...

A Very Cosplay Christmas - Wauchope Library Precinct - Sat 16th December 10am-2pm

'A Very Cosplay Christmas' is a FREE, all ages, Christmas-themed pop-culture event that encourages self-expression, creativity, and connection through a series of exciting activities and workshops.  The main event is the cosplay costume parade, where participants get to showcase their favourite character with an opportunity to win great prizes.  In addition, there will be live music entertainers, art and craft, a youth makers market, face painting, silent disco, free food (BBQ), fun games and more. 

We are so excited!

• Cosplay Parade- Open to all ages and spread over 6 categories. This year we are encouraging all Cosplayers to add something Christmassy to their outfits. It's also going to be Summer and HOT, so participants in the parade will have an extra challenge of creating something light and breezy. Lots of Prizes to be won!
