FREAKSHOW Is a Neon Circus Cosplay Rave in Philadelphia
FREAKSHOW: Circus Cosplay Rave, from Club Kaiju, runs from 10pm to 2am on Friday 30 October 2026 at Tempo, 3601 Market Street, Philadelphia. Expect electronic music, anime dance and Japanese club music. Entry is 18+.
Philadelphia nights at the end of October are around 10°C (50°F). The event is indoors, so bring a layer for the queue.
What to Wear to FREAKSHOW: Clowns, Jesters and Carnival Characters
The theme is neon circus and anime cosplay, so think ringmasters, clowns and acrobats. Clown costumes like Twisted Trickster, Harlequin and Trickster Ballerina are made for it, and the Jester Men's Costume completes the troupe.
For a darker act, try a creepy voodoo doll, a Heartless Queen or Runaway Rabbit from our fantasy costumes, or a neon fairy.
Couples, Groups and Rules
Black Voodoo Doll comes in women's and men's versions, and Harlequin pairs with the Jester for an easy couples look. A whole circus makes a great group costume.
Mask, makeup, prop and bag rules haven't been published, so leave fake weapons at home and check the official event page before you go.
