International Cosplay Day

International Cosplay Day is an annual celebration dedicated to the art of cosplay—dressing up as characters from movies, games, comics, and anime. It recognizes the creativity, craftsmanship, and passion of fans who design and wear detailed costumes to embody their favorite characters. The event encourages community, self-expression, and appreciation for fandom cultures worldwide through gatherings, competitions, and online activities. Usually held in early October, it offers cosplayers a chance to showcase their work, connect with others, and celebrate their shared love for pop culture and storytelling.
