The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) was this weekend (April 26-28). We have even more C2E2 2024 Saturday Cosplay photos for your enjoyment.

Saturday was unusually warm for Chicago in April, and it certainly could be felt in the convention center. If your costume was typically comfortable, you were warm. If your costume was typically warm, you were boiling. Even going out to the lobby didn’t give much reprieve, but still cosplayers soldiered on with their chosen outfits of the day.

One of the highlights of my day on Saturday was getting to meet Rachel Maksy. Rachel is a creator on YouTube I’ve been watching for several years. She originally started making vintage content, but has switched over to cosplay and general creative content. She still adds her own vintage flair now and again. One thing I appreciate about her videos is that she shows how much trial and error is part of the creating process. She shows her triumphs, her mistakes, her failures, and how sometimes you have to just muddle your way through making something. I also like how she emphasizes the importance of making things just because they make you happy.

She wasn’t an official cosplay guest, but a “Meet & Greet” was scheduled in Cosplay Central on Saturday afternoon. Though I didn’t have very long to speak with her, she was very kind and friendly, and seemed that way with everyone.

Rate the Con

Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

FOOD

(16 Votes)

---

PARKING

(17 Votes)

VENDORS

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions. If they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.

**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**

Throughout the day, I captured photos of some of the great cosplay on display. Some of them were friends, while others were ones that caught my eye. Here are the rest of my photos from that day.
