Cosplay Parade Sign-up

We welcome all cosplayers to participate in the Nerdi Gras Cosplay Parade!

This year's theme: We're All Mad Here!

About the parade: The Nerdi Gras Cosplay Parade route for 2026 covers an area around the convention hotel, and the event starts around 10:45 AM on Saturday of Nerdi Gras (March 21, 2026). Watchers will have areas along the parade route that they can stand and observe, and Nerdi Gras membership is not required to enjoy the parade. 

How to participate: All cosplayers are welcome, and any costume that fits in the theme "We're All Mad Here" or "Mardi Gras" is a good choice for this parade. Participants are asked to be lined up in the side parking lot of the hotel by 10:30 AM. 

Please complete and submit the form linked below to join the parade showcase. After you've signed up, the Parade Manager will acknowledge receipt and let you know what to expect from there.
