Thank you Swampcon for inviting me again to conclude Swampcon 2026 with the Swampcon Cosplay Rave. I am truly grateful for every single soul who showed up and showed out!!! You all brought your best dance moves and vocals were on point! The energy was high with bubbles in the sky and Pikachu was even flying!!! There were so many cool things that happened Sunday night but you just had to be there to experience it~ Thank you Kali and Tadd for capturing the moment so those who couldn't make it can see what it was like and those who were there can relive the moment~ I hope to return next year because I have more surprises planned and it will be even better. Before then, I will be hosting more raves for us so we can keep partying as a community so be on the lookout~ Photographer on scene: @justatadd_ Videographer & Bubble Expert: @kali.kinz #swampcon2026 #animeconvention
