ABOUT STAR WARS CELEBRATION
Star Wars Celebration is the ultimate fan experience focused on the galaxy far, far away…
Star Wars Celebration revels in the excitement of new movies, television shows, books, art, and comics while also commemorating the vast history of the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars Celebration is an event filled with major announcements, immersive exhibits, an interactive show floor, screenings, exclusive merchandise, celebrity guests, panels, autograph sessions, fan-inspired activities, costumes, and other surprises celebrating all things Star Wars!
Star Wars Celebration is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience where memories are made, families are brought together, old friends are reunited, and new friendships forged — all in the setting of the ever-evolving Star Wars universe.
Beginning with Star Wars Celebration V, Star Wars Celebrations have been produced by Lucasfilm in cooperation with ReedPop. ReedPop also runs New York Comic Con, C2E2, PAX, and many more events all over the world.

COSPLAY
Yes! Cosplay is always welcome at Star Wars Celebration.
It’s important to note for our fans attending from out of the country that it is not customary to travel to and from an event in your cosplay in Japan. Instead, fans attending events travel to the event in their everyday clothes with their cosplay in a secure bag or luggage and then change into their cosplay at the event. We are working to secure cosplay changing rooms and storage in the venue and will have more details on that available soon. We highly recommend that you follow Japanese etiquette and wait to change into your cosplay until you arrive at Makuhari Messe.
Once you are fully in your cosplay on the Star Wars Celebration campus, feel free to wear your cosplay wherever you would like, unless you are otherwise directed by venue security who may ask large groups not to gather in certain areas.
Our team is working on plans for cosplayers and sharing important details and information about cosplaying while you are traveling in Japan. We will share more detailed information about cosplay procedures and policies later this summer!
HOTELS AND TRAVEL
Yes! We will have a hotel block available with discounted rates for fans traveling to Japan for Star Wars Celebration. More details about hotels are coming soon!
Makuhari Messe is located at 2 Chome-1 Nakase, Mihama Ward, Chiba, 261-8550. You can visit the Makuhari Messe directions page for additional details.
