Join for a fun-filled day by the pool with a variety of space-themed activities.

Attendees can participate in a mini cosplay competition showcasing their best space and sci-fi costumes, competing for a chance to win a grand prize pool of €1,000 sponsored by ECOMMBX.

Beyond the cosplay contest, the day will be packed with exciting offerings for all ages, including:

  • Informative talks and screenings related to space exploration
  • Space-themed video games to fuel your inner astronaut
  • Pop Culture DJ sets featuring renowned comic con video DJ LevelUpLeroy all the way from the UK
  • Live band set by Dopanime featuring anime openings/endings (space mechas go!), spacey soundtrack music and visuals
  • Popups by artists, independent creatives and small businesses selling all manner of comic con and space-themed treasures
  • Delicious food, refreshing drinks, and ice creams to keep you energized throughout the day

The event promises the perfect fusion of science and science fiction – after all, even Jean-Luc Picard would admit that sometimes the best way to boldly go where no man has gone before is to dress up as your favorite character on the holodeck and have some R&R with the crew!

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to celebrate space and pop culture in summer-y cosplay by the sea!
