The COSTUME BOWL is an annual cosplay charity event to support Manna Food Pantries and Gulf Coast Kid's House. Although we had to take a brief hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we came back in 2021 with our most successful year yet! Now we're ready to continue our efforts to help our charities!


Back in 2014, two Pensacola-based sci-fi fan groups -- the USS Continuum and the Parjai Squad wanted to do a joint-point project. So they got together with Cordova Lanes Bowling Center and held our first event on Sunday, April 26, 2015. Since then, we've joined with RaKura Base, the Pensacola Costumers Guild, the Gulf Coast Light Saber Training group, and the USS Harry Mudd to bring one of the most exciting cosplay charity events on the Gulf Coast -- the COSTUME BOWL!

In our first six events, through the support of local businesses and fans along the Gulf Coast, we've been able to raise over $8K! ALL of our proceeds go to Manna & GCKH, so they can, in turn help those in our community who need it the most!

Bowlers can organize a team of up to 6 bowlers for $75, or register as an individual for only $15! Price includes 3 games & bowling shoes. Preregister on our Registration page or sign up at the day of the event. (An additional amount has been included on all credit/debit card orders to help us cover processing fees).

Costumes are part of the fun but are *not required!* Our primary goal has always been to support our two great charities! Costumes DO NOT have to be sci-fi or fantasy-related, but they DO need to be family-friendly!

Purchase Mulligans -- Strikes, Gutters, or Bumpers -- to increase their chances for victory, all the while furthering our fundraising efforts! (More information on how Mulligans work and the COSTUME BOWL is actually played can be found on the How to Play page).

We will also have various raffles at the event, brought to us by the generous support of our sponsors!
