HEROES & VILLAINS Cosplay Bash (Richmond, VA) at Fallout – Richmond, VA

Choose your side, gather your allies, and prepare for a legendary night where good & evil party together!

Step into a world where legends collide when Richmond’s infamous Heroes & Villains night returns Nov. 14, 2025, bigger and bolder than ever! From caped crusaders and dark overlords to fantasy champions, horror icons, and sci-fi rebels, you decide: will you rise as a HERO or embrace your darkness as a VILLAIN?

Richmond’s HEROES & VILLAINS has traditionally been a comic book (super hero & villain) themed event HOWEVER this year we are inviting ANY pop-culture HERO or VILLAIN to show their true colors during our immersive celebration!
NOTE: Cosplay (costumes) aren’t required but are highly encouraged.

Attendees are invited to join our epic Cosplay Showdown, split into two categories: BEST HERO and BEST VILLAIN! Pick your side and battle for glory, prizes, and bragging rights as contest host Chiara Scuro keeps the peace while showcasing the best cosplays of the night. We’ll also have a special category and award for those that create their OWN hero or villain that isn’t already part of pop culture so feel free to embrace your creativity!
NOTE: Sign-Up at the Cosplay Contest table near the front entrance with the contest happening at 11:00pm

Hero or villain — your powers can make a real impact during this cosplay bash. Organizers are also hosting a Canned Food Drive that will benefit Richmond’s own FeedMore.org – helping fight food insecurity across Central Virginia. For every two cans attendees donate, they’ll earn one raffle ticket, making them eligible for great prizes. The more cans an attendee donates, the better their chances to win a prize(s) during our Silent Raffle Drawing featuring multiple winners — because true legends give back.

Prepare for a high-energy Goth / New Wave / Dark Wave dance party with Fallout’s own DJ Scarey Pete at the decks – if anything can bring HEROES and VILLAINS together, it’s great dance music and a packed dance floor!

Dollz Entertainment, a unique performance troupe based out of Richmond, will also be providing epic go-go dancers throughout the night!

Several themed cocktail creations, worthy of any true avenger, will be offered up by Fallout’s talented bar staff (we’ll announce the themed cocktails a week or two before the event lands). Hungry? Ask your bartender for the food menu and recharge before hitting the dance floor again!

Strike your most heroic (or villainous) pose with our professional photographer. Photo booth open from 9:30–11:30 p.m. with photos available shortly afterwards via AfterDarkRVA.com
