About the Fantasizers Festival

The Fantasizers Festival was born from a shared dream: to create a vibrant, inclusive space where creativity knows no bounds.

Held in the heart of Christchurch, New Zealand, this unique event celebrates self-expression through fashion, fantasy, and imagination – where Steampunk, Gothic, Medieval, Cosplay, Period, and Pinup styles are not just welcomed, but celebrated as the norm. This is more than a festival—it’s a gathering of kindred spirits. A place where people of all ages, genders, abilities, and cultural backgrounds come together to showcase their artistry, passion, and individuality.

Whether you’re a seasoned cosplayer, a lover of vintage aesthetics, or simply someone who thrives on creative freedom, Fantasizers Festival is your stage.

Our Team & Vision

The Fantasizers Festival is powered by a passionate team of volunteers from all walks of life. United by a love for imaginative expression, we’ve come together to build an event that’s inclusive, inspiring, and unforgettable. Our backgrounds may be diverse, but our mission is shared: to create a space where originality thrives and everyone feels welcome.
