Traditionally hosted near the "halfway" point from Dragon Con (6 months away from Labor Day weekend) - this "cosplay weekend" celebration incorporates 3 separate events over 3 days with Cosplay Photo mini-Con being the anchor event!

Whether you've spent months crafting your cosplay or you're just looking for that perfect shot to showcase your hard work, HAIR OF THE DRAGON: Cosplay Photo mini-Con provides you with the opportunity to work alongside talented photographers in a space designed specifically for cosplay art. No more rushed selfies or random photos in crowded convention halls—here, you’ll get to create high-quality images that truly reflect the vision behind your costume. But this event isn’t just about the photos—it’s also about people! Over the past 13 years, Atlanta's Hair of the Dragon has become a gathering place where cosplayers can mingle, network, and form lasting friendships. With numerous dressing rooms on-site, you can switch between different cosplays throughout the day, giving you the chance to work with both roaming photographers and “featured” photographers who have set up in various studios around the expansive Studio Space Atlanta—a 20,000+ sq. ft. venue. The event offers a variety of opportunities to connect with fellow cosplayers in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. 👁 View hundreds of photos and highlight videos at HairOfTheDragon.com Many friendships have blossomed from this event, making it just as much about community as it is about creating stunning photos. It’s one of the special aspects that sets this "halfway" to the Dragon gathering apart and makes it an event cosplayers look forward to year after year. In addition to the fun and camaraderie, Hair of the Dragon also serves as the perfect “halfway point” to the annual Dragon Con. Aptly dubbed a “Halfway to the Dragon” event, it’s the ideal way to get into the cosplay spirit months before the big con while enjoying a laid-back, vendor-free atmosphere. No panels, no celebrities—just a great time to focus on what really matters: your cosplay and your fellow fans. Join us for a night filled with creativity, new connections, and unforgettable photos. Whether you’re looking to make lasting memories, upgrade your cosplay portfolio, or just enjoy a fun, safe, and welcoming environment, Hair of the Dragon is the event for you!
