Comic-Con International: San Diego returns to the San Diego Convention Center in 2017, beginning with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 19 with the four days of the event running Thursday, July 20 through Sunday, July 23, 2017.
Programming events, games, anime, the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival, and the Eisner Awards all take place outside of the Convention Center, creating a campus-type feel for the convention in downtown San Diego.
With attendance topping 130,000 in recent years, the event has grown to include satellite locations, including local hotels and outdoor parks.
