San Diego Comic-Con returns for an in-person event in 2022, and attendees are already making plans. The annual celebration of pop culture and entertainment takes over the San Diego Convention Center July 21st-24th. As usual, the exciting offering of panels and vendors isn’t the only thing you should check out!
XLE (Experience Level Entertainment) has two pretty 21+ awesome off-site parties scheduled this year. Perhaps you’ll recall their previous events- Ready Party One, The Upside Down (co-presented with Nerdist), and Awesome Mixer Vol. 2 (co-presented with Crunchyroll).
Bonus, you don’t need a SDCC badge to attend! (You do need to purchase a ticket to both events, however.) First up for 2022 is a Wednesday night kickoff party, Love and Thunder!
