𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: 🟢✨𝔼𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝔼𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕕✨🟢 broke attendance records this year, making it the most well-attended Cosplay Carnival since its inception – what a way to celebrate its 10th year! We’d like to thank everyone for helping us achieve this monumental milestone!
All this wouldn’t have been possible without our special guests Taotan and Unorthodox Design as well as all the amazing All-Stars and performers whose presence would make any other convention green with envy.
For the first time in history, the event also featured the 𝑱𝑨𝑴 𝒙 SACRA MUSIC 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 concert featuring DJ Sigrid, halca and Who-ya Extended. On Sunday, the one and only Naomi Payton also graced the JAM Concert stage to join halca and Who-ya Extended. We’d like to thank and congratulate them on such an awesome performance.
The event wouldn’t have been possible, though, without the amazing support of Mountain Dew, McDonald’s, and many other incredible sponsors and exhibitors who made the event truly a wondrous gem to behold!
We’d also like to thank the management and staff of the SMX Convention Center Manila who worked with us to continually improve our events, and making us feel at home.
Shoutouts to Synergy as well for providing marshals who were firm yet friendly to the con-goers while working with incredible efficiency. Working with our staff, we managed to clear the lines quickly without inconveniencing anyone, and helped to make the con-goers feel safe and secure.
The convenience and speed of entry wouldn’t have been possible without the streamlined services of our official ticketing partner TicketMax. Since our partnership with them, we’ve managed to minimize wait times and other issues typically associated with other popular events.
To our incredible staff, we’re truly grateful for all your efforts. Your amazing efforts were an incredible way to kick off a year packed with conventions. Your efforts truly sparkled and gleamed throughout the event.
This year, we encountered a lot of new faces in addition to familiar ones. We’re so glad that so many new congoers got to enjoy the event and are thankful to all our regulars for making them feel so welcome. Together, we’ve fostered a truly incredible community that thrives with on mutual respect and admiration for the craft we all love so much.
This was so very evident in the amazing stage performances where cosplayers entertained everyone through not only performances, but also in singing and dance competitions! You were all truly breathtaking and are proof positive that these contests are definitely part of the DNA of cosplay.
Thank you for sparkling with us in the first installment of the 💎P͓̽r͓̽i͓̽s͓̽m͓̽a͓̽ ͓̽S͓̽a͓̽g͓̽a͓̽💎! We’re looking forward to seeing you once again at 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔: 🟡𝕋𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕢𝕦𝕚𝕝 𝕋𝕠𝕡𝕒𝕫🟡 on May 16-17, 2026 in Halls A-D at Space at One Ayala, Makati City.
But, before then, we have a special treat for everyone with another free event! 🏕️𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽🏕️: 𝗠𝗼𝗺-𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 will be kicking off on May 8-10, 2026 at the 3rd Floor, East Wing, Festival Mall, Alabang, Muntinlupa City! The 3-Day event will also celebrate the anniversary of Hobby Kaikan!
Thank you everyone for your continued support for our events. We’re truly grateful, and we’re looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Sincerely,
The Cosplay.ph Family
