FAN EXPO Chicago 2025 was here from August 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and it was a blast.
Saturdays heat had brought n some horrendous storms, but that meant Sunday was much cooler, both inside and out. Combine that with a smaller crowd and there were areas of the convention center that were almost cold. It was actually nice that we could walk around and enjoy some more of the convention without dying of heat exhaustion or being run over.
Our past FAN EXPO CHICAGO cosplay coverage can be found here: 2022, 2023, 2024
Or Wizard World 2017-2021 Here
The cosplay today was not as spectacular as Saturdays, but there was just as much of it. Everyone is exhausted by Sunday and many of us have work the next day so cosplayers tend to go with outfits that are lighter weight, easier to move in, and quick to pack up at the end of the day
