Kyabram's Plaza Theatre is set to be transformed into COSPLAZA for one very special evening later this month.

Campaspe Shire mayor Chrissy Weller said it would be exciting to see what costumes the community can create, with the event set to attract cosplayers from right across Victoria.

"Prizes will be on offer for the best costumes across various ages groups," she said.

"Keep your eye out for some, presumably friendly, fully functioning droids that have emailed their interest in attending. They have, however, indicated that these are not the droids you are looking for.

"Free pizza and hot chips will be on offer, with popcorn and soft drink available for purchase.

"To top off the evening a special screening of the anime masterpiece Spirited Away will be played in the theatre once the cosplay formalities have finished.

"This is the first event of its kind in Campaspe and is being run in conjunction with the state government's youth events program FReeZA."
