Alright, cosplay lovers. If you’ve been waiting for a convention that’s all about celebrating the amazing world of cosplay, your wait is over. COSCON Jax is rolling into town, and it’s Jacksonville’s very first con dedicated 100% to the art, craft, and culture of cosplay. Yep, this is THE place to geek out, learn, connect, and just have a blast surrounded by people who get it.
Set your reminders for Saturday, July 19, 2025, because the Ramada by Wyndham Jacksonville Hotel & Conference Center (that’s 3130 Hartley Rd, if you wanna get technical) is about to be taken over by cosplayers, creators, and fans just like you. Whether you’re a seasoned costume wizard or just starting your cosplay journey, this event is for everyone who loves dressing up and bringing characters to life.
What can you expect? Oh, just a whole lot of awesome stuff! There’ll be cosplay guests who know their craft inside and out, ready to share stories, tips, and tricks. Want to pick up some new skills? Hit up the cosplay panels — they’re perfect for learning everything from sewing secrets to how to rock that makeup like a pro. And if you love getting hands-on, the cosplay activities are where you’ll want to be, diving into fun challenges and creative workshops.
But wait, there’s more! The vendor and artist alley will be packed with folks selling unique merch, cool artwork, and collectibles that you won’t find anywhere else. So whether you’re looking for that perfect accessory to finish your outfit or just want to browse some seriously cool stuff, you’re covered. Hungry? No problem — food will be available so you can keep your energy up all day long.
Best part? It’s not just about costumes and crafts — it’s about community. COSCON Jax is a chance to meet fellow cosplay fanatics, swap stories, make new friends, and just soak up all the good vibes that come with celebrating something you love.
Tickets are already on sale, and I’d definitely suggest grabbing yours early because spots like this fill up fast. Whether you want to jump into panels, enter contests, or just wander around soaking in the cosplay goodness, COSCON Jax is shaping up to be a day you won’t forget.
So, Jacksonville — dust off those sewing machines, prep your glue guns, and get your cosplay game face on. COSCON Jax 2025 is where the magic happens, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible costumes and creativity on display!
