🎭✨ Happy International Cosplay Day! ✨🎭

Cosplay is so much more than putting on a costume. It’s the months spent crafting every tiny detail, the excitement when someone recognizes your character, the friendships formed while waiting for a photo, and that incredible feeling of walking into GalaxyCon and realizing you’re surrounded by people who love the same things you do. ❤️

Over the years, we’ve watched characters step off the screen and into our convention halls, seen first-time cosplayers find their confidence, and witnessed countless friendships and memories begin with a simple, “Can I get a picture with you?” 📸✨

To every cosplayer who has shared their creativity, passion, and a little bit of magic with us over the years, thank you for making GalaxyCon brighter, more colorful, and uniquely YOU. 🫶

Happy International Cosplay Day to one of the biggest reasons GalaxyCon feels like home.

📸 Drop a photo of your favorite cosplay in the comments and show us what you’ve created!

Today, we remember the legendary Peter Cullen.

Some voices become inseparable from the characters they bring to life. Peter Cullen’s became something even greater. For generations of fans, his voice represented courage, kindness, comfort, and the kind of strength that never needed to be cruel.

Across an extraordinary career spanning decades, Peter gave life to a pantheon of beloved characters in entertainment. As Optimus Prime, he created one of the most iconic voices in pop culture history, bringing a warmth, dignity, and humanity to the leader of the Autobots that made generations believe in him. As Eeyore, he gave a gentle voice to Disney’s loveable pessimist, and his remarkable talent could be heard throughout animation, television, film, and beyond.

But Peter’s legacy was never only about the characters he played. It was also about the person behind that unmistakable voice. His kindness, humility, and genuine appreciation for the people who loved his work were deeply felt by fans around the world.

We were incredibly fortunate to welcome Peter to GalaxyCon over the years and were lucky enough to see firsthand just how much he meant to people. Watching fans meet the man behind a voice that had been part of their childhoods, their families, and in many cases their entire lives was something truly special. Those memories will now mean even more.

Peter Cullen leaves behind a legacy few performers will ever equal and his characters will continue to be loved for generations to come.

Our hearts are with Peter’s family, friends, loved ones, colleagues, and the countless fans around the world mourning this tremendous loss.

Thank you, Peter, for the kindness you shared, the memories you gave us, and the heroes you helped us believe in.
Till all are one. ❤️

It is with profound sadness we say goodbye to our dear friend Tim Curry whose extraordinary talent, unmistakable voice, and larger-than-life presence made him one of the most unforgettable performers of his generation.

We had the honor of welcoming Tim to our GalaxyCon Raleigh event in 2019 and he was a frequent guest during our virtual chats where he lit up at the chance to talk with his fans.

With his cheeky grin and devilish laugh, Tim's remarkable career spanned the stage, film, television, music, animation, and voice acting, breathing life to characters such as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise, Long John Silver, and countless others. Curry leaves behind an extraordinary body of work that has entertained, frightened, inspired, and delighted generations of fans, actors, singers, and writers.

Our hearts are with his friends, family, and fans and we honor his memory as a kind and hilarious soul. Rest in peace, sir, we cannot thank you enough for the hours of joy you have brought to our lives.
