Friday at Dragon Con 2026 is a day where the sheer volume of attendees is overwhelming, and we haven’t even hit the Saturday peak. Creative energy and excitement can be felt all across the host hotels. From sprawling cross-universe mashups to stunningly detailed independent builds, every single corner offered a fresh visual treat and an unparalleled opportunity for fans to connect over shared creative passions.
Documenting this massive influx of talent is no small feat, requiring hours of on-the-ground coverage amidst thick crowds, but the brilliant team behind the lens has delivered once again. These stunning shots are brought to you courtesy of Nocedo Photo Media Group, who spent the day braving he heat and the crowds to bring you more cosplay group photos.
Our past Dragon Con cosplay coverage can be found here: 2016, 2017,2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

If you like Leo’s photos and want to keep him going to these events why not head over to and buy him a Kofi, put a few dollars in his tank. Because we all know that these websites don’t make money (as much as we wish they would).
