C olossalcon is the date many of the
top cosplayers across the country
circle on their calendars each year
in anticipation of the biggest cosplay pool party. Held each June at
the Kalahari Resort and Waterpark in Sandusky, Ohio, Colossalcon
gathers about 20,000 attendees across four days to celebrate
cosplay in a waterpark environment.
This usually means cosplays of all kinds are adapted for
swimsuit friendly wear and pool partying. In addition to waterpark
fun, the resort also contains a petting zoo with a variety of wildlife
as well as nearby fields and forested areas for unique cosplay
photoshoot opportunities. With tropical-themed indoor and outdoor
swimming pools and slides, and some beautiful surrounding
countryside, cosplayers and photographers can get a little crazier
than usual.
Sandusky, Ohio may not be the first thought to come to mind
when it comes to amazing cosplay conventions, but every year
many of the best cosplayers make the pilgrimage to Colossalcon
for one of the biggest cosplay conventions of the year.
