One of the main components that make up the World Cosplay Summit event, the parade in Osu is probably the most accessible for a traveler or cosplay fan. Locals and internationals turn out for this event.

Before the parade, local cosplayers can be seen milling about the area, posing for pictures and taking pictures of each other. Remember to ask nicely if you want a picture.

The parade itself is led around by the representatives, with everyone else is arranged behind them in no particular order. This is an event for all ages and fans of any type.
