Artist Market «Color Fiesta 17: Wonderland»

   For one weekend in early October, Sky Expo turns into a wonderland for Saigon's young creative scene: an Artist Alley market, cosplay, a live stage and hundreds of booths of one-of-a-kind illustrated goods across four halls (A1–A4). If you like buying art directly from the person who drew it, this is the closest thing Ho Chi Minh City has to a true artist fair.

   Color Fiesta started in the summer of 2018 with the theme «School Day» and now runs twice a year, in April and October. Season 16 in April 2026 — the first two-day edition — drew 25,000 visitors and 400 exhibitor booths. Season 17, themed Wonderland, is organized by Yana Media.

   Highlights this season:

   — the «Color Runway» cosplay contest, themed Giang Hồ: 12 finalists perform live on stage, first prize 5,000,000 VND plus the champion's cup; the jury features cosplayers Monica Wos, Lishrayder and an international guest
— international cosplay guest Emil from Thailand, a familiar face of the Thai cosplay community making a first CoFi appearance
— Artist Alley booths with illustrations, stickers and handmade goods by independent artists

   The fair is aimed at manga and anime fans, gamers, cosplayers and anyone curious about Vietnam's young creative community. The venue is in Quang Trung Software Park in the north-west of the city, about 30–40 minutes by taxi from the centre. Cosplay props are welcome as long as they are not real or realistic-replica weapons, not oversized and have no sharp edges.

   Tickets are sold online and at the gate; see the Color Fiesta ticket page for categories.

   See you in Wonderland — leave some room in your bag for the loot.
