Please do! We'd love to see you decked out as your favorite romance character, or just adorned in period clothing! Formal cosplay and/or formal attire is especially encouraged for the ball.

FAQs Archive - Romancing Portland

Q: Are you connected to Rose City Comic Con?

Yes — we are Rose City Comic Con's official sister event, and every ticket to Romancing Portland includes a FREE 3 day badge to Rose City Comic Con. (It's a bonus; you're not paying extra for it.) We know it can be tricky navigating two events in one weekend, but the Oregon Convention Center doesn't have enough space (or the proper aesthetic) to house Romancing Portland. We hope you can take some time to enjoy both events, but if you're devoted to a weekend of Romancing, we love that too! (Note: Rose City Comic Con badges do not include admission to Romancing Portland)

Q: Will this be like other LeftField Media events?

Yes and no. You can expect the same care and quality as other LeftField Media events, but Romancing will be a bit different. This is a boutique event, designed to be smaller and more aesthetic than our convention center-based offerings. Our emphasis will be on authors, audiobook narrators, and BookTokers. Our ultimate goal is to be fully immersive and to make every attendee feel like the main character of their story.

Q: Is the venue accessible?

Designed to offer every traveler a cozy haven in the heart of Portland, Sentinel furnishes a variety of ADA-compliant Accessible Rooms, thoughtfully crafted to meet the needs of guests who require mobility-, hearing- and vision-accessible accommodations.
