Great Maine Cosplay Show Hosted by Batman and Batgirl

I know… so many questions!

Mollie and Keith Dinsmore have been cosplaying for years. We should stop there and explain what cosplay is. Thanks Google:

Cosplay is a performing art in which participants dress up and put on makeup, representing characters from anime, video games, television, and film. In addition to creating authentic costumes, cosplayers also act as characters and are usually experts in the subject matter of the characters they are replicating.

Let’s go back to Mollie and Keith. They have done birthdays and charity events, as well as traveling far and wide to go to conventions. You may recognize them as Old Port Batman and Batgirl.

With the last two years of Covid, the loss of the Old Port festival, and the Deering Oaks Family Festival long gone, Mollie and Keith decided to bring some fun to Portland. That’s where Great Maine Cosplay Show comes in!

Molly and Keith wanted something fun, exciting, unique, and a little original. Yep. This checks all those boxes! They don’t have a big promoter, they’re just two passionate people who want to build something that can become a tradition. Molly and Keith are doing this with their own money, while working full time and expecting their first child. And you thought your days were busy!

They want Portland to know that there is a place to go to share the love of Fandom. They include all kinds of cosplay, from anime to superheroes and anything you can think of. Great Maine Cosplay Show is also part of the LQBTQIA+ community and there will also be a wonderful meet and greet. There will be live music, food trucks, show cars including the Batmobile, on-site charities and vendors.

This is very nice. Keith… I mean Batman, he is the Guinness World Record holder for most functional cosplay gadgets with his Batman Cosplay.

Mollie and Keith know that sometimes what they do can seem ‘weird’ or ‘weird’, but like Mollie said,

…cosplaying is about finding a way out of the box, truly expressing what you love, and enjoying the little things in life that make you smile.

the event takes place Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1 at Thompsons Point. It’s in collaboration with the Children’s Museum, KidsCon New England, several different food trucks, local musicians, and live performers. They are also very proud to announce their LQBTQIA+ meet and greet to solidify their business as allies in a world they believe just needs more love and acceptance.

Mollie and Keith are Mainers who love what they do and want to make sure that if you’re into cosplay, you get a chance to have fun!

Tickets are at the door at this point. (cash card). They can’t pre-sale right now, but they plan to do so for future events. Tickets are $20 for one day and $30 for both! Children under 5 years old are free! They also have a few spots available for some last minute vendors who want to join in on the fun!
