Get ready to put on your best cosplay, charge your portable console, and sharpen your foam sword. From October 9 to 13, 2025, Bogotá will once again become the epicenter of the geek and creative universe with a new edition of SOFA: The Leisure and Fantasy Fair — the event that has redefined how Colombia experiences alternative entertainment and pop culture.
This year, SOFA celebrates its sixteenth edition at Corferias and invites all attendees — yes, you too — to be part of The Dragon Community, a powerful narrative that embraces diversity, creativity, and the collective strength of thousands of passionate minds. As Zantiago Echeverri, SOFA’s Director of Content, says: “With the Dragon Community, we want to highlight the collective power that is born when each person contributes their own fire.”
A multiverse of possibilities
SOFA 2025 will be a dimensional portal where parallel worlds converge: from anime to science fiction, digital art to alternative sports, including robotics, K-pop, board games, competitive cosplay, and martial arts. More than 450 exhibitors, 400 active communities, and 4,500 cultural managers will be present to create an immersive experience that defies any attempt at conventional description.
It is not just an event; it is a true multiverse of experiences, where you can explore a medieval village, learn how to wield a lightsaber, compete in a retro video game tournament, or attend a live battle of illustrators. All in one place.
It doesn't matter if you're a fan of manga, steampunk, fantasy literature, or Asian culture: SOFA has something for everyone. Last year, the event welcomed more than 200,000 visitors, establishing itself as Latin America's leading event for leisure culture and alternative entertainment. And everything points to the fact that this year's figures will be even higher.
It’s also a golden opportunity to support local talent, connect with like-minded communities, and —why not?— let your geekiest side shine with pride. Because at SOFA, being different isn’t just okay, it’s the norm!
