Cosplaymania offers all participants a convivial and festive space to meet up and learn more about this universe, through a series of hands-on workshops to learn how to make impressive costumes.

The climax of Cosplaymania is undoubtedly the open stage and cosplay competition that will bring the event to a close. It's an opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent and share their passion for cosplay.
