Lodi Comic Con encourages fans to cosplay as their favorite pop culture icons! For everyone’s safety and for a relaxing event, here are some cosplay guidelines.

1. Guests are prohibited from bringing weapons into Lodi Comic Con. Weapons include but are not limited to the following: Firearms, explosives, stun guns, handcuffs, brass knuckles, sticks, clubs, batons, martial arts instruments, pepper spray, tear gas and knives. Guests found in possession of any of these items will be asked to remove the item from the facility or dispose of it. Guests who refuse to comply will be ejected from the facility and may be subject to arrest.
2. No real firearms. That includes firearms that shoot only blanks or BB’s.
3. Replica weapons must stand out as fake from at least 10 feet away. An orange safety tip is required on all replica weapons.
4. If any type of blade weapon is sharp enough or has a pointed tip, so that it might cut or pierce the skin – it will not be allowed into Lodi Comic Con.
5. Solid prop weapons which have enough weight to cause physical harm with even a medium swing are not  allowed.
6. Functioning fake projectile weapons – even “Air Soft”, water guns, squirt guns, and any toy that is capable of actually firing a projectile, liquid, or object of any type are not allowed.
7. Prop weapons will be peace bonded either while you wait in the registration line (prior to 10am) or at the information booth. Your item will be identified so that staff and attendees know it is safe and approved.
8. Aiming, brandishing and pointing any and all weapons at other attendees is not acceptable. If you are in violation of this rule, you may be asked to leave.
9. If this doesn’t answer your question, please bring your replica weapon or prop to our weapons check area near the front entrance.
