Cosplay Karaoke @Circuit Arcade Bar

Get ready for Jacksonville’s most unique night out! Cosplay Karaoke combines two of the best things in geek culture: dressing up as your favorite characters and singing your heart out on stage.

What to Expect

Whether you’re channeling your inner anime hero, embodying your favorite video game character, bringing a sci-fi icon to life, or rocking a creative DisneyBound, we want to see you perform! This is a judgment-free zone where creativity meets karaoke in the best way possible.

Come in cosplay and receive a FREE SHOT! From elaborate costumes to creative closet cosplay and bounding - as long as it’s obvious you’re not wearing regular street clothes, you qualify.

Event Highlights:

• Professional photographer on site to capture your amazing cosplay and epic performances
• No song restrictions - sing anime openings, Disney classics, rock anthems, pop hits, or whatever moves you
• Hosted by Awesomus Prime (nationally performing DJ and music producer) and DJ HelloNicki
• Safe, inclusive space welcoming all fandoms and identities
• Full bar with arcade games at Circuit Arcade Bar

Event Details:

When: Every 4th Friday of the month, starting January 23, 2025

Time: 8:00 PM - Late

Where: Circuit Arcade Bar, 19 Ocean Street, Downtown Jacksonville, FL

Age: 18+ only

What Counts as Cosplay?

The rule is simple: it has to be obvious you’re not wearing regular everyday clothing.

✅ Full costumes - armored characters, wigs, makeup, props

✅ Closet cosplay - putting together clothing to represent a character

✅ Bounding - subtle character-inspired outfits (DisneyBounding style)

✅ Original characters - your own creations count!

✅ Gijinka/humanized versions - creative interpretations welcome

❌ Just regular street clothes - a single accessory or everyday outfit won’t qualify

When in doubt: if you put thought and effort into creating a look that’s clearly costume/character-inspired, you’re good to go!

First-Time Karaoke Singers Welcome!

Never done karaoke before? No problem! This event is all about having fun, celebrating fandoms, and supporting each other. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping up to the mic for the first time, you’ll find an encouraging and enthusiastic crowd.

Parking & Transportation:
