Comic-Con Event Headed To Downtown Mooresville: Details

MOORESVILLE, NC — Downtown Mooresville could soon look a bit more like Gotham City. Mooresville Public Library is partnering with local cosplay group Luna Nera Creations to host MoTownCon comic-con event on Saturday, Aug. 21.

The event will feature costume contests, vendors, authors, a green screen photo opportunity, as well as a special appearance by the car Malibu Dabi, the Town of Mooresville said.

“We have partnered for the last several months to offer a teen cosplay program at the
library on the third Saturday each month, and it has been well attended,” Teen Librarian Megan Mosher said.

The event is for all ages, however teens are especially encouraged to participate in costume competitions. Those contests are restricted to ages 13-18, organizers said.

MoTownCon will run from 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Charles Mack Citizen Center, located at 215 N. Main Street in Mooresville.

“What I love about cosplay and comic-cons is they allow people of all backgrounds to connect on a common interest and gives the opportunity to be creative," Mosher added. "Programs like
this one bring the community together, address the importance of literacy, and offer many other artistic, educational, and cultural opportunities; it’s everything a library hopes to provide to patrons.”
