The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) returned to McCormick Place on August 5th-7th, 2022.
Even though I go into Sunday of C2E2 knowing that it ends early, it almost always catches me unaware. The schedule of events is chock-full until the very end, including the Cosplay Central Showcase and the wrap-up party in the convention center lobby! I managed to pop by Family HQ in the afternoon and saw little ones learning to play Quidditch, as well as Harley Quinn, Polka-Dot Man, and Batman from League of Enchantment Chicago reading stories!

As people got in some last-minute fun and shopping, I managed to snag some more photos of cosplayers. I can’t wait to see what people wear next year when C2E2 returns March 31-April 2, 2023!
C2E2 is located at McCormick Place South in Chicago, IL. Here’s when the show opens and closes every day. After Dark and gaming run late into the night 😉.
