Because Monday at Arisia 2020 was such a short day, and the day everyone that was staying at the Westin Boston Waterfront was checking out and hitting the road, I took less than three dozen photos. Even combining those with all the photos I took on Sunday didn’t add up to the 120 photo limit I have for breaking a gallery into two. So here is a 110-image gallery of photos from the last two days of the convention.

Now that Arisia 2020 is over, I hope that the apparent lower attendance numbers isn’t going to be a problem for future conventions. The fines it had to pay for violating agreements with its host hotels when it moved have been at least partially covered by a fundraising campaign, according to the Arisia Twitter feed. So it won’t go broke trying to pay those fines. But I suggest that Arisia move further into the pop culture space a little, perhaps by adding a Movie or TV Guest of Honor to its guest categories. Having someone like, say, Joel Kinnaman (Altered Carbon, Robocop) as a guest would still be in keeping with sci-fi and fantasy focus of the convention.

Among the cosplayers in this final gallery from Arisia 2020 are rocinantecosplay, Inevitable Betrayal Cosplay, remathelovely, blue_moch1, valpal.cosplay, Redfield design, baker_aith, clubbingclown.cos, cosplay_buttercup, lostsanitycosplays, jackkastiel.cos, sideeyebrigade, Glassarrow Cosplay, faerieprincen, makeupmermaidcosplay, misty_xwyx, sewpoke_cosplay, redwallet, matrixvampyr, Elfling Unlimited, lorendacosplayer, and many more.

We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.
