The Festival is held rain or shine. Mark your calendars, follow the Festival on social media, and RSVP to this official Facebook event to stay up to date on the latest announcements and information.

Volunteers are provided with snacks, a piece of Festival merch to take home, and can receive community service hours. Local school, scout, church/synagogue/temple, community and meetup groups are more than welcome to volunteer as a group.

Cosplay Contest applications tend to open in January or February and close no later than one-week before the Festival. Information about the Cosplay Contest and the application when it opens can be found here:

We encourage all cosplayers to wear their family-friendly costumes to the Festival, even if you are not a contestant. However, we require all cosplayers at the Festival to NOT dress in realistic military gear nor wear a mask that completely covers your face. Traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono and yukata are also highly encouraged.
