ANNUAL COSTUME PARADE:  For fans of all AGES who want to show off what they are wearing, you can march oin our parade just before the costume contest starts.

Fans in the Parade can line up in front of PANEL ROOM A at 3:30 - 3:45pm and march across the stage for all to see!

Immediately the costume parade after that rhe actual contest begins!

​​COSPLAY FAQs
Is cosplaying allowed? 
Of course! We celebrate it, and encourages attendees to dress up as their favorite pop-culture-themed characters. 

How do I enter the if I have an elaborate costume?
Cosplayers can park with the free SKY VALET or at the RIVER VIEW Parking Garage - there will be signs as you approach Mohegan Sun Boulevard.  These entrances are for those folks that have face make up or a mask on. This is the closest distance to the entrance to the convention center. they will have to enter through the either of these points of entry and have "prop" weapons checked by police when they come in for public safety. They can go to convention center, hotel lobby and public areas of shops, mall concourse, Glo after party with their masks and face paint on -  this will not be an issue.

IMPORTANT: COSPLAY IS PART OF THE CON  - IT HAS BEEN A HUGE HIT AT THE SINCE WE STARTED DOING CONS AT MOHEGAN SUN IN 2015!   but... NO ONE WEARING A MASK OR FACE PAINT WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE GAMING/GAMBLING AREA. DECISIONS AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES A MASK WILL BE MADE BY MOHEGAN SUN'S GAMING PERSONNEL, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL. 

THIS IS ABOUT COSPLAY HELMETS - NOT FACEMASKS FOR COVID SAFETY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WEAR A MASK YOU MAY DO SO ANYWHERE ON PREMISIES.
