Comic-Con Canceled Over Coronavirus, Plans 2021 Return
AppleMagazine
|April 24, 2020
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.
“Continuous monitoring of health advisories and recent statements by the Governor of California have made it clear that it would not be safe to move forward with plans for this year,” organizers said in a statement.
