Cosplay Rules
Watsonville Nerdville is a family-friendly event, and costuming worn should reflect that basic premise. The minimal dress standards are full-coverage bikini top, and full-cheek coverage swimsuit bottoms. In all cases, local and state decency laws will be applied. Male attendees are strongly encouraged to wear dance belts under any thin-fabric pants (bodysuits, tights, etc.). Precautions should be taken against costume malfunctions (e.g. double-sided tape, pasties, etc.). Footwear must be worn at all times; stocking feet without shoes are not sufficient. Convention staff reserves the right to insist on modifications of costumes.
What is the weapons (costume props) policy?
No functional weapons are allowed at the Watsonville Nerdville venue. Weapons are allowed as a part of your costume, subject to prior approval by security and compliance with event rules, click the button below for more details.
