As you may have guessed we're big fans of cosplay at HaruhiCon and we want to see all your favourite characters brought to life. Whether that's wearing your cosplay around the Con, doing photoshoots, or getting involved in any of our myriad of activities. Cosplay is never mandatory, but highly encouraged, alongside everything from J-fashion/alt fashion to t-shirts from your most watched series. Check out some of our Cosplay events below~
Please ensure you read our Cosplay and
Weapons Guidelines.
🌸 Cosplay Masquerade
The
Cosplay Masquerade is your opportunity to strut your stuff on a stage before your fellow fans. Inspire the audience with your craftsmanship, your creativity, or both! Show your work with pride and get some snazzy photos pulling
your
best poses while doing so. No experience is necessary. Whether your cosplay is
bought or made,
from anime or comics, in a group or flying solo, all are welcome here.

🌸 The Cheeky Cherry Cabaret
Inspired by the roaring success of HotaruCon's FireFly Lounge we bring you the Cheeky Cherry Cabaret 💃
Our very own Saturday Night cabaret lounge variety show. Non-competitive and cosplay-optional, the aim is to entertain!
Singing, dancing, poetry, magic, comedy, burlesque, drag, gymnastics, if you can do it...we'll see what we can do to stage it!
Applications are NOT first-come-first-served, this is a curated show by our very own Vice Chair and Master of Ceremonies, Kai!
For everyone else, you're invited to bring a drink, pull up a chair and enjoy a show like you've never seen before.

🌸 Cosplay Chess
Watch your hosts 💐 Tabby (thesparkofrevolution) and 💐 Mariam (Ceresel) take to the board to defeat one another in a completely normal game of chess.
The fact that there are (a minium of) 32 Cosplayers standing on a human size chess board mirroring their every move...like we said....completely normal game of chess.
If you're a Cosplayer sign up to join the chaos, you'll be assigned to a team and have to co-ordinate 'battles' with your opponents. How you defeat them however...well that's up to you. In character? Break the 4th wall? Send them to the Shadow Realm?
If you're not on the board you won't want to miss this. Excitement awaits in every nail biting match.
🌹 Sign up as a Chess Piece here!
🌸 Charity Cosplay Café
Our pop up café inspired by classic Maid Cafés with a super cute theme. For a small fee you can enjoy some refreshing tea and cake on Sunday afternoon or sign up to help as a Maid or Butler if you want to help out (and maybe earn a slice of cake 👀).
There's games to play and you can even get cheki polaroids with the maids and butlers! All profits go to the Con Charity.
