About this Event

Cosplay Photo mini-Con, also known as HAIR OF THE DRAGON (and Halfway To the Dragon), is a unique, geeky event by that brings both cosplayers & talented photographers together to create photo magic.

Step into a world where creativity, collaboration, and cosplay come together at HAIR OF THE DRAGON: Cosplay Photo mini-Con, an exciting and unique mini-con that’s all about celebrating the art of cosplay—and the community behind it! This special event is a haven for cosplayers, offering the perfect opportunity to capture stunning, professional photos while connecting with like-minded fans in a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

Whether you've spent months crafting your cosplay or you're just looking for that perfect shot to showcase your hard work, HAIR OF THE DRAGON: Cosplay Photo mini-Con provides you with the opportunity to work alongside talented photographers in a space designed specifically for cosplay art. No more rushed selfies or random photos in crowded convention halls—here, you’ll get to create high-quality images that truly reflect the vision behind your costume.

Many friendships have blossomed from this event, making it just as much about community as it is about creating stunning photos. It’s one of the special aspects that sets this "halfway" to the Dragon gathering apart and makes it an event cosplayers look forward to year after year.

In addition to the fun and camaraderie, Hair of the Dragon also serves as the perfect “halfway point” to the annual Dragon Con. Aptly dubbed a “Halfway to the Dragon” event, it’s the ideal way to get into the cosplay spirit months before the big con while enjoying a laid-back, vendor-free atmosphere.

No panels, no celebrities—just a great time to focus on what really matters: your cosplay and your fellow fans.

Join us for a night filled with creativity, new connections, and unforgettable photos. Whether you’re looking to make lasting memories, upgrade your cosplay portfolio, or just enjoy a fun, safe, and welcoming environment, Hair of the Dragon is the event for you!
