This weekend is almost here! And we wanted to celebrate a vital component to the community that makes the Hawai‘i Video Game Marketplace and Anime Swap Meet epic: THE COSPLAYERS! Did you have fun spending hours to create your costumes but got no where to wear it? Miss hanging out with fellow cosplayers at Kawaii Kon 2026? Got a new costume you want to test out before next year’s convention circuit or Halloween? SAY LESS! Cosplayers are invited to cosplay on both days of the Anime Swap Meet, but on Saturday, June 20, 2026 we will be hosting a Cosplay Parade at 2PM! Show off your killer costumes you worked so hard creating or buying or a bit of both! Reminisce on the fun times you had with your friends at Kawaii Kon and relive the moments all over again! Nothing competitive, just celebrating creativity and imagination! AT THE REQUEST OF Blaisdell Center/Waikiki Shell NO PROPS ALLOWED. Don’t forget to bring your 2026 Kawaii Kon badge or the event flyer to save $1 on your passes at the box office (ticket fees apply). Tickets available now online or in person (discount applicable NOW). See you there!
