The 2023 Masquerade on-stage costume competition (or Cosplay Competition for those who favor that term), a tradition at Comic-Con from almost its beginning, will be Saturday evening, July 22, starting at 8:30 p.m. The event celebrates not only the contribution of costuming to the popular arts, but also the amazing creations that our attendees make and bring to the convention. The costume presentations, intermission entertainment, and then awards presentation will run 2 and ½ hours and be set in the Convention Center’s 3,900-seat Ballroom 20, with overflow seating again available at the large screen in the Sails Pavilion. Not a dance or party as the name may imply, it is more akin to a talent show set on a large stage before an audience, showcasing amazing costumes crafted by our non-professional but still very creative and talented attendees. Most costumes will be impressive re-creations from movies, television, anime, comic books, fantasy, Broadway shows, video games, and history; others will be completely original designs from the imagination. Some will be solo entries; others will be groups with a shared theme. All genres are welcome, but NO purchased costumes are allowed.

Diane Powers’ Bazaar del Mundo Shops in Old Town will host author and jewelry artist Federico Jimenez Caballero for an exclusive trunk show, Friday and Saturday, December 16-17, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Federico's stunning turquoise and red coral creations have been worn by Christie Brinkley, Ali McGraw and Elle McPherson, who remain loyal collectors of his work. After the Hollywood stars began buying his jewelry, he quickly became an established and recognized artist in the industry. With a deep love and respect for his indigenous roots, Federico began collecting jewelry and textiles that reflected his culture at a young age. After meeting his wife and following her from Tututepec, Oaxaca to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, he carried on his passion of jewelry by opening a series of shops to the public. During the trunk show event at Bazaar del Mundo, Federico's stunning jewelry will be available for purchase alongside collections from other indigenous and southwestern artists. The event is free and open to the public. To join the festivities, visit the Bazaar del Mundo Shops at the north entrance to Old Town on the corner of Juan and Taylor Streets.
