Can I wear cosplay?2026-02-04T19:27:03-06:00

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.

Can I bring my children?2026-02-05T19:50:03-06:00

Sorry, but this is an 18+ event. Minors are permitted inside the hotel, of course, but they will not be able to visit the Romancing Portland areas.

May I request a guest or author to attend?2026-01-25T15:50:24-06:00

Absolutely! While we won’t be able to accommodate every request, we’d love to hear your suggestions on our request form. One name per line, please!

Will Romancing happen in other cities too?2026-01-25T15:50:49-06:00

Not at this time, but it could happen! The future of Romancing is bright, and if we can muster all the magical ingredients together, we’d love to expand beyond the Rose City.

Are you connected to Rose City Comic Con?2026-02-17T13:50:04-06:00

Yes! We are Rose City Comic Con’s official sister event, and every ticket to Romancing Portland includes a FREE 3 day admission to Rose City Comic Con. (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 vibes) to house Romancing Portland. We hope you can take some time to enjoy both, 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)

Will this be like other LeftField Media events?2026-02-17T13:56:32-06:00

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.
