About this Event
Get ready for Jacksonville’s most unique night out! Cosplay Karaoke combines two of the best things in geek culture: dressing up as your favorite characters and singing your heart out on stage.
What to Expect
Whether you’re channeling your inner anime hero, embodying your favorite video game character, bringing a sci-fi icon to life, or rocking a creative DisneyBound, we want to see you perform! This is a judgment-free zone where creativity meets karaoke in the best way possible.
Come in cosplay and receive a FREE SHOT! From elaborate costumes to creative closet cosplay and bounding - as long as it’s obvious you’re not wearing regular street clothes, you qualify.
Event Highlights:
- Professional photographer on site to capture your amazing cosplay and epic performances
- No song restrictions - sing anime openings, Disney classics, rock anthems, pop hits, or whatever moves you
- Hosted by Awesomus Prime (nationally performing DJ and music producer) and DJ HelloNicki
- Safe, inclusive space welcoming all fandoms and identities
- Full bar with arcade games at Circuit Arcade Bar
Event Details:
When: Every 4th Friday of the month, starting January 23, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM - Late
Where: Circuit Arcade Bar, 19 Ocean Street, Downtown Jacksonville, FL
Age: 18+ only
What Counts as Cosplay?
The rule is simple: it has to be obvious you’re not wearing regular everyday clothing.
✅ Full costumes - armored characters, wigs, makeup, props
✅ Closet cosplay - putting together clothing to represent a character
✅ Bounding - subtle character-inspired outfits (DisneyBounding style)
✅ Original characters - your own creations count!
✅ Gijinka/humanized versions - creative interpretations welcome
❌ Just regular street clothes - a single accessory or everyday outfit won’t qualify
When in doubt: if you put thought and effort into creating a look that’s clearly costume/character-inspired, you’re good to go!
First-Time Karaoke Singers Welcome!
Never done karaoke before? No problem! This event is all about having fun, celebrating fandoms, and supporting each other. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or stepping up to the mic for the first time, you’ll find an encouraging and enthusiastic crowd.
