It wouldn’t be Ohayocon without our signature events! These are fan-favorite staples that you can’t miss.
The main cosplay event! Watch our contestants show off costumes and performances and see who will be crowned winners. If you would like to participate, you can learn more about it on the Cosplay Expo page.
A low key event for who seek to escape the world of adulting. Make new friends and listen to chill music. Pajamas or Kigurumi encoraged.
Get ready to hunt! Sign up at the Information Desk at the front door from Friday to Sunday with your teams of up to four people to start the convention scavenger hunt checklist! The first to complete the hunt will earn some awesome prize as will the ones with the most points! This is a photo-based game which requires at least one team member to have a smart phone and to join our Discord to post the pictures in. A list of rules and details are available here.
Got a terrible dad joke you’ve been dying to share? The kind that makes people groan before they laugh? This is your moment.
Stop by the Information Desk and drop your best (or worst) dad joke into the submission box. All jokes will be reviewed, then read aloud during Closing Ceremonies.
The joke that earns the biggest laugh will crown its creator the one and only Bad Dad Joke King. You’ll walk away with a prize worthy of a true comedic legend!
A room of swirling gowns and quick feet; the Formal Ball is your chance to sweep your partner away in a night of classical ballroom dancing. Timeless music and dashing outfits will make this event one to remember. Proper formal attire is required! There are lessons earlier in the day if you want to learn proper dances but not required.
Grab the mic and have some fun! Sing your favorite songs and classic hits in a judgment-free, super fun space. No experience needed. Just bring your enthusiasm for singing!
Check the schedule for times and get ready to sing your heart out!
