ITHACON invites cosplayers to prepare for the runway
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.
We are also pleased to announce 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. Please visit www.ithacon.org for the latest information.
About the Comic Book Club of Ithaca
The Comic Book Club of Ithaca, the longest-running comic book club in the country, grew out of a middle-school comic book club, and was formally established as a non-profit community organization in 1975. The first Ithacon took place in 1976 and featured 2 comics professional guests. Since then, Ithacon has grown considerably but continues to be a fan event, run by fans and for the fans.
