Locals attend day one of 10th Annual YumaCon
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Halloween season may be over, but locals across Yuma County got the chance to dress up as their favorite characters for the 10th Annual YumaCon.
The two-day event, hosted by the City of Yuma kicked off Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at the Yuma Civic Center.
The event featured a variety of activities, such as the Smash Bros. tournament and a cosplay masquerade, where attendees of all ages were judged on their costumes.
One of the organizers, Cassandra Contreras, shared the importance of YumaCon.
"YumaCon is part of the [Yuma] Art Center, so we promote the arts and it's also really important for us to kind of get together and share our interests and we're all kids at heart, even though we're older and you know we still have our favorite cartoons and animes and stuff like that. So...it's really an event to bring out your inner child," Contreras explained.
The event lasted until 6:00 p.m. If anyone missed out Saturday's event, they can attend Sunday's event, taking place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
