We ❤️ Cosplay!
Cosplay will be an integral part of the HeroFest experience in 2026. Showcase your creativity on stage, whether in the cosplay contests or on the catwalk. Or simply enjoy the spectacular shows and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of cosplay.
We'll be regularly updating this page with news about the cosplay contests and our guests, so stay tuned! ✨
Müller – Sponsor of the Cosplay Area 🧡
This year, Müller is supporting the Cosplay Area at HeroFest and will also have its own booth on site. There, you’ll find a selection of products around cosplay and fandom, including sewing supplies, glue and adhesives, makeup such as lipsticks and eyeshadows, as well as UWU drink cans, anime-themed ice creams and bubble teas, and a variety of anime-style snacks. Stop by, discover the selection, and maybe pick up a little extra for your cosplay or your convention break. ✨
Create your own Cosplay Booth
Your costumes deserve more than a quick moment on stage. At HeroFest 2026, you can share your creativity, craftsmanship, and passion with the community from your very own cosplay booth 👀
For the first time, HeroFest is giving cosplayers the chance to create their own space in the Cosplay Area and connect directly with thousands of visitors. Whether you specialize in intricate armor builds, stunning sewing work, handcrafted props, or original character designs, this is your opportunity to showcase what you love and inspire fellow fans.
Tell us about yourself, your cosplay journey, and the projects you're most proud of. A jury will review all applications and select a diverse group of creators who represent the creativity and spirit of the cosplay community. The chosen participants will receive their own booth to display costumes, share behind-the-scenes insights, meet fans, and celebrate cosplay together ✨
