The Cosplay Masquerade is a exciting and popular event for con-goers which allows individuals and small groups to show off the hard work they put into creating their costumes and props by participating in either a runway walk-on or a short skit. Even if you do not participate in the event the Masquerade is often a nice way to relax, watch the show and end the day off.
