This year’s San Diego Comic-Con has been
canceled due to coronavirus-related restrictions
around large gatherings. Organizers say they are
planning for the festival to return in July 2021.
The annual confab was scheduled to take place
from July 23 through July 26 in and around
the San Diego Convention Center. California
Governor Gavin Newsom said that he was not
optimistic about a return of “mass gatherings”
for things such as sports events, concerts and
fairs in 2020.
