GalaxyCon features a variety of entertainment such as video gaming tournaments, costume contests, comedy shows, late night karaoke, burlesque, dance parties, and workshops of all kinds.
WHY DO PEOPLE GO IN COSTUME?
People dress up to show their love for a character from A favorite comic book, anime, video game, movie, TV show or books. Some people wear store-bought costumes like they would for Halloween, and others get really creative and make their own costumes. Cosplayers often get treated like stars by other attendees due to the amount of workmanship that goes into these costumes. Many compete for prizes in costume competitions held throughout the weekend.
