We are hosting a outdoor cosplay beach/pool-themed party with music featuring various DJs, volleyball tournaments, cosplay photoshoots, watermelon smashing (スイカ割り), and many more WEEB activities!
BYOB for alcohol, and should be kept in the shelter/picnic area.
HARD LIQUOR IS NOT PERMITTED by the Metropark.
Since there will be consumption of alcohol, 18+ is the recommended age of the party. However, it is a public park and anyone of all ages are welcome to attend. Minor attendees should notify their parents/guardian that the environment will include alcoholic beverages present, but we do not condone underage drinking.
We started in 2016 with our last event in 2019 with a smashing success. However, as many other events like CBP has suffered through the pandemic, we had to cancel our 2020 & 2021 event. Before the pandemic, we hosted ticketed events throughout the year to raise money to continue the tradition of keeping the leading annual event itself completely FREE to attend.
Cosplay is an expensive hobby.
From badges to attend the cosplay conventions, hotel rooms, to cosplays we buy or build and buy supply/material can rack up $$$ quickly.
Because of this, we host a FREE ADMISSION event (with the exception of $10 Metropark entry per vehicle) where cosplayers & affiliates can still do what they love but not worry about spending a large sum of money to attend cosplay events.
However, hosting a free event is not cheap, with cost from equipment rental costs, food/drinks, 250+ watermelons, and VISA Gift Cards for the Cosplay Contest and Volleyball Tournament winners. Due to COVID-19, we will not be providing food at the 2022 event, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own.

The park does not allow the beach space to be reserved. The park has many rules and regulation where many activities we would want to have are restricted only in the picnic area which includes: grilling, consumption of alcohol, music, PA system, event-like activities, etc.
Therefore the volleyball games, musical entertainment, cosplay contest, drinking/eating will be held at the picnic area, and guests can have photoshoots at the beach, sunbathe, or rent canoe/boats! This is an all-day event, so there are no restrictions to when you show up!
REMINDER: The beach space IS NOT RESERVED therefore the beach will have the general public. Cosplays are very flashy so people will most likely stare at you. But fear not! Embrace your outstanding work of cosplay and let’s get some great shots on the beach scene!
