Last Updated on October 22, 2026 by Over Here Toronto
CosMeet 2026: Shimmering Sapphire brings two days of cosplay, anime fandom, artist booths, and live entertainment to Cove Manila at Okada Manila on October 24 and 25. Organized by Cosplay PH, the free expo welcomes fans who want to meet fellow enthusiasts, browse fan-made merchandise, and watch stage activities.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both days in Parañaque City. It also marks the fifth installment of the organizer’s 2026 Prisma Saga, a series of cosplay events inspired by gemstones.
CosMeet 2026 Brings Anime and Cosplay Fans Together
This year’s theme, Shimmering Sapphire, sets the direction for the two-day gathering. CosMeet gives cosplayers, artists, performers, and content creators a place to connect with fans and share their work.
According to Okada Manila’s event announcement, visitors can expect exhibit booths, FanFair tables, stage games, and appearances by cosplayers, idol groups, performers, and content creators.
Unlike ticketed conventions, CosMeet offers free admission. As a result, anime fans and curious first-time visitors can add the expo to their weekend plans without paying an entrance fee.
The event also gives fans a chance to support local creators. Cosplay PH’s official CosMeet exhibitor page describes several exhibitor spaces, including its FanFair artist alley. There, artists can present original work and fan-made creations inspired by their favorite series.
Browse Artist Booths, Merchandise, and Fan Creations
CosMeet offers more than cosplay photos and stage appearances. Visitors can also explore booths from independent artists, businesses, and other exhibitors.
The FanFair area focuses on creative work from amateur, semi-professional, and professional artists. Meanwhile, standard exhibit booths give businesses a place to showcase products and services.
Cosplay PH also provides All-Star Avenue spaces for cosplayers, idol groups, performers, and content creators who want to meet their supporters. Food booths add another option for guests who plan to spend several hours at the expo.
These activities make CosMeet a gathering point for different parts of the local anime community. Fans can shop for merchandise, find artwork connected to their favorite fandoms, and meet creators whose work they follow online.
However, visitors should check the organizer’s latest announcements for the final exhibitor directory and any updates to the event program.
Guest Cosplayers and Stage Activities Headline the Weekend
CosMeet 2026 will include guest appearances and activities across both days. According to Philippine Primer’s event report, cosplayer WeianVann is scheduled to appear on October 24.
The second day will feature Supernatural Edition, a solo cosplay contest scheduled for October 25. Fans who enjoy costume design and character portrayals can look forward to seeing participants present their interpretations onstage.
In addition, the expo will feature stage games and music performances. The program brings together cosplay, anime-related entertainment, and fan activities throughout the weekend.
