Comic-Con will be back in San Diego in 2023. The three-day conference, SDCC 2023, will be held Thursday, July 20 – Sunday, July 23, 2023. Petco Park is always a must-visit during Comic-Con weekend, providing spectacles outside of the convention center for all, including those without a Comic-Con badge. This year, information has been slowly trickling in.

2023

So far the only event, which is not affiliated with the convention, is the Jimmy Eat World / Manchester Orchestra concert.
