For many years now, Comic-Con has been the No. 1 destination for self-proclaimed nerds, movie buffs and many more. It does not matter if you're a Trekkie or a die-hard Marvel fan; Comic-Con always has something for everyone. For over 40 years, Comic-Con has been the premier destination for devoted fans to meet their favorite celebrities and be able to interact and get an autograph at the same time. Comic-Con is also known as the go-to event for showing off your best cosplay costumes. Comic-Con can be found all across the United States throughout every part of the year, and Comic-Con San Diego is said to be one of the best ones to visit.
Comic-Con's legacy as the premier event for pop culture began way back in 1970. Originally named The Golden State Comic-Con, Comic-Con quickly grew from an attendance of a mere 300 people to thousands. A few years later, the convention was renamed the San Diego Comic-Con. The event grew so large that it began being hosted across the country, thus, changing the name to simply Comic-Con. Within the past few years, the inclusion of communicative technology, such as social media, has allowed patrons to experience more than seminars, lectures and workshops. Big-name stars and their studios have even taken to the event to announce or even premier their latest big blockbuster Hollywood movie.

Although Comic-Con 2019 was held this past July 18-21 at the San Diego Convention Center, you still have the opportunity to experience other Comic-Cons that take place all across the country. Some of these upcoming Cons include ValleyCon in Fargo, N.D. (Oct 18-20, 2019); Multiverse Con in Atlanta, Ga. (Oct 18-20, 2019); and the Rhode Island Comic Con in Providence (Nov 1-3, 2019) to name a few.
One of the best things about the Comic-Con schedule is its ability to cater to almost every fan base out there. However, one of the most common reasons many people attend is to view panel discussions by some of TV and film's most famous celebrities. Some of the most popular panels at the most recent Comic-Con event included the cast of
Stranger Things
,
Rick and Morty
,
Game of Thrones
, the
Avengers
movie franchise and many more. Other attractions featured at the event are cosplay costume contests in which some of the world's top cosplay players unveil their year-long creations in front of hundreds of people. Signings, photo-ops, discussion panels and rare finds are also some of the many attractions you can expect to run into at the world-renowned Comic-Con in San Diego.
Having had fun is the memory that Comic-Con organizers want people to leave with. However, for that to happen, the guests need to adhere to a few policies. First is the restriction of any electronic device that can be flown, such as balloons and drones. You are not allowed to bring in real or fake weapons in the event that you are cosplaying. For those wanting to post about the event on their website, the ban on live-streaming during Comic-Con events is still in place.
Any cosplay costumes will be checked over at the front desk prior to entering the main hall. Some of the items strictly prohibited by the promoters of these cons are real weapons and dangerous projectiles, such as arrows. However, simulated and costume weapons, are allowed upon approval of security. Once the staff tags you, you are good to go. In addition, all costumes will also need to be in good taste as Comic-Con is still a family event.
