BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The monsters are coming back to Brooklyn and taking over Industry City in a BIG WAY! Kaiju Brooklyn, the East Coast’s premier celebration of giant monsters, henshin heroes, and Japanese pop culture, returns for its third and biggest year yet on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, 2025, at Industry City in Brooklyn, NY.
The weekend-long event kicks off on Friday, May 30 with an electrifying Kick-Off Party, Kaiju: After Dark, featuring an exclusive DJ lineup: DJ Jen Jones opens the night, setting the vibe with high-energy beats, followed by headliner DJ Peter Paid spinning a monster mix to launch the weekend in style. VIP Attendees will also receive an exclusive swag bag featuring collectible items, including a limited-edition mini figure of Kaiju Brooklyn’s official mascot, Kaibrogon. The night is hosted by cosplay legend and influencer, AaimzTako, so dressing up is encouraged!
“Brooklyn has always been home to creative energy,” says John Bellotti Jr., founder of Kaiju Brooklyn. “This event brings together a passionate community that celebrates the cinematic art and cultural impact of giant monsters.”
This year’s event promises an action-packed weekend that blends fan-favorite traditions with thrilling new additions. Attendees can look forward to special guest appearances from iconic figures in the kaiju and tokusatsu world, including Linda Miller, Keone Young, and Philip Andrew, who will share stories and insights from their legendary careers.
The weekend will feature the North American premiere screening of the highly anticipated Ultraman Arc movie, giving fans an exclusive first look at the next chapter in the Ultraman legacy. Throughout both days, fans can dive deeper into the genre through a robust lineup of live panels hosted at the bkONE: Tom Kane Theatre, with Q&A sessions, offering behind-the-scenes access to actors, creators, effects artists, and cultural experts.
Cosplayers will once again take center stage in the Kaiju Brooklyn Cosplay Contest, where monster fans of all ages can suit up, show off, and compete for epic prizes. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Bronx sponsored Kaiju Lounge at Gunhill Public House returns as the event’s social hotspot — a laid-back hangout space with themed drinks, meet-and-greets with featured cosplayers, and perfect photo ops and DJ entertainment.

From longtime legends like Marusan to up-and-coming creators, this curated marketplace is a paradise for fans and collectors alike.
