The Randy Callender Cosplay Show

Costumes & Cosplay
The Randy Callender Cosplay Show is coming to Maker Faire Syracuse 2026 in honor of our friend and colleague, Randy Callender. The show will feature a parade around the faire, followed by a showcase on the TACNY Stage. Participants are encouraged to join in any form of cosplay, though we are especially excited to see your original work. This is a celebration of creative expression, rather than a competition. Anyone dressed in a costume or cosplay are welcome to participate! Those who plan to attend are asked to register ahead of time, though sign ups are also welcome the day of Maker Faire.

Maker Faire Syracuse

Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.

We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.

What inspired you to make this project?
Cosplay has strong roots the maker world, and we want to use this event to solidify it's central role in our own maker community. We especially want to knock it out of the park this year in honor of our committee member and friend, Randy Callender, who passed away this year. We hope to honor Randy's love for cosplay with our best show yet!
