Feel free to dress up as your favorite comic book, movie, wrestling, or video game character. It\u2019s part of the fun of Comic Con! However, no costume can have any parts that cause harm and of course, no real weaponry can be carried. Also, please keep costumes and attire appropriate for children! There will be a costume contest on Saturday as well as a kid\u2019s costume contest on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to any large convention, fans can expect long lines, a lot of walking and a lot of waiting. We recommend wearing comfortable gym shoes to the convention. The long lines and massive amount of costumes will give you plenty to talk to fellow Con-goers about.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49822\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49822\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49822 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o.jpg\" alt=\"wizard world comic con\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-842x561.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30052290_1956183941121392_6739448304946188973_o-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Wizard World Comic Con<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What to Bring<\/h2>\n<p>Pack a bag &#8211; they&#8217;re allowed!<\/p>\n<p>As you explore the convention, you&#8217;ll probably acquire a lot of giveaways, merchandise, and autographs, which is why a bag will come in handy.
