The Origins of Cosplay Day at Movie Park Germany
It all began in 2018, when Movie Park Germany in Bottrop opened its gates for the Cosplay Day for the first time. More than 300 cosplayers gathered to present their handmade costumes and transport visitors into the world of their favorite characters. The response was overwhelming, and the Cosplay Day quickly became a permanent part of the park’s event calendar.
Over the years, the event grew steadily. In 2019, more than 300 cosplayers already took part, and in 2024 the Cosplay Day celebrated its fifth anniversary with two event days. This growth reflects the increasing popularity of cosplay in Germany and shows how important such events are for the community. (bottrop.de)
