ITHACON is back for another year of amazing costumes and fabulous fan-made fashions, giving cosplayers of all ages the chance to express their creativity live. The annual cosplay runway, where cosplayers can model their hard work and love for their favorite fandom, provides a platform for the artists to showcase their work in honor of their favorite comic and pop-culture icons.

The cosplay runway is scheduled for both days of the convention, April 27th and April 28th, at 1:00 PM. This year, ITHACON will also feature a unique figure drawing session for all cosplayers. No previous art experience is required to participate —cosplay lovers of all ages are encouraged to engage in the event. Art supplies will be provided, but attendees are more than welcome to bring their own.

They have also announced that the 501st Legion, the fan-favorite Star Wars cosplay group, will be returning for this year’s event. The group, also known as Vader’s Fist, is dedicated to bringing villains from the Star Wars universe to life, composed of fan volunteers worldwide.

ITHACON will also feature a cosplay repair station for any restoration needs and countless photo opportunities.

Ticket information, registration, and special guest announcements for ITHACON will be announced in the coming weeks.
