The Manga & Cosplay Festival that has a permanent spot in the calendar of the Japanese Garden in Hasselt in Belgium.
Unfortunately, the weather could have been better, it rained especially in the morning and in the afternoon it was hit and miss. This caused muddy feet and clothes for the public, but the atmosphere was still good. A lot of audiences gathered for the event, especially the cosplay competition on the catwalk. The sakura trees were still in bloom and the visitors took the opportunity to enjoy it.
The next edition of Manga & Cosplay Festival will probably take place in September.
