Local cosplayers and photographers have set up interactive exhibits for you to see some of their creativity behind the scenes. This is an up-close and personal look at the technical side of cosplay. Our goal is to bring the community together by sharing ideas, spreading the idea that anyone and everyone can participate in cosplay. Whether you're new to the community, or a seasoned veteran of the craft, you're bound to learn something!
Otafest is Calgary’s volunteer-run, non-profit, all-ages Japanese anime and pop culture festival featuring anime screenings, an exhibitor hall, community panels, cosplay contests, voice actors, concerts, and so much more!
