Costuming

This year, Costuming Track celebrates its 22nd Anniversary and we are bursting at the seams with four full days of DIY for the costumer in everyone!

We are boosting the excitement with more craftsmanship, more cosplay, and all the spectacle you can handle, including panels, workshops, demonstrations, repair stations, exhibitions, contests, fashion shows, prizes, and more, you’ll find it here for every skill level and interest.

Costuming Track is pleased to announce that we have a new second in command, Meredith “The Chameleon” Greer.  We are excited that they will be helping our Director, Lee, design programming for the 2026 show.  If you are a fan of the Vision Vogue Fashion Show, don’t worry, they’re still the go-to person for that show.

We’re calling all fans of the Costuming Exhibit. We are in desperate need of mannequins. If you have an old standing mannequin that you would like to donate to the cause, please contact us at ex.dragonconcostuming@gmail.com.  Thanks in advance for your support.

Interested in volunteering for just an hour or two during one of our main events?  We’re always looking for extra support during the evening contests and parties. Email us at costuming@dragoncon.org.

We have great news for fans of our Scavenger Hunt Bingo. We’ve updated our bingo cards! That’s right, you’ll find the latest in your favorite cosplays on our improved cards.

We’re also going to be open longer hours, so you have more time to purchase your cards and trade them in for great con swag.  Scavenger Hunt Bingo is located in the Hilton 301, with the new hours of 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. Friday-Sunday and 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. Monday.
