So, you didn’t get that membership to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. That’s no reason not to come down to San Diego the weekend of Jul 8 - 12. Simultaneous with this year's Comic Con International: San Diego, there will be a huge number of events, that you can ATTEND WITH NO COMIC-CON BADGE . This page is for announcements of such events. There are numerous events for those interested in comics, SF&F and related popular arts: art exhibitions, parties, concerts, meetups, zombies and more. Some are free and some charge admission, but all the events listed here can be visited without a Comic-Con membership. (Several events extend beyond the weekend as well.)
If you are hosting an event outside of SDCC (that DOES NOT require a convention membership), we want to know about it! Contact the site administrator with all the pertinent information and your event can be added to this list! Also, you can visit our event page on Facebook:
