Monster / Cosplay Costume Contest

What would a halloween / cosplay event be without a costume contest?!  

When.
Sunday, October 20th, 2019 between 2pm – 4pm

What to expect.
Expect to see some of the VERY BEST Halloween or “DarkSide” Cosplay costumes.  Some of the best costumes are created by the very talented, dedicated enthusiasts and fans.  You will get a chance to see and participate in an exclusive costume contest of epic proportions, in a setting that’s a truly haunting experience! 

Of course there will be prizes!

See the VERY BEST make-up artists and fiendish cosplay designers on the largest stage downtown Riverside has to offer. Pick your music or we can and show off your make-up and costume skills for a chance to win cash and prizes. Or just come and watch the show. First place is $1,000 in cash plus a night stay at the world-famous Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside (we hear it’s haunted, but it’s also 5 stars so it’s worth the risk).
