lounge for cosplayers
🎏In collaboration with J-Popcon, the Bifrost Lounge is a cosplay lounge for all of you who attend Copenhagen Sakura Festival in costumes!
📍If you take the stairs above the toilets, you can find the Bifrost Lounge on a plateu to the left. Walk up the stairs, look to the left and you won’t miss it.
🍵Here, you can sit down, relax, and take a break from the crowd. We will have snacks and water for you to stay on top of the festival, and our staff from Kitsune Cosplay Guild will be there to help you during the entire festival.
👺You can only enter the Lounge if you are wearing a costume, and you are not allowed to take pictures inside of the Lounge, but you are more than welcome to stop by and ask our staff about the world of cosplay – we are here to help everyone!
You are also more than welcome to ask the cosplayers outside of the Lounge to ask permission to take pictures. ❔️📸 ✅️
⛺️ If you can’t find the Lounge, ask at the information tent!
