WonderCon Anaheim 2027

WonderCon returns to the Anaheim Convention Center for its 2027 edition, March 26–28. WonderCon is operated by Comic-Con International — the same organization behind San Diego Comic-Con — and has grown into one of the premier pop culture conventions in the Western United States, drawing over 60,000 attendees annually. WonderCon covers comics, sci-fi, fantasy, animation, film, television, gaming, and cosplay with a programming slate that runs all three days across multiple halls. The masquerade cosplay competition on Saturday night is a flagship event. Publisher booths, artist alley, exclusive merchandise, and preview screenings fill the convention floor. Unlike SDCC, WonderCon remains more accessible — badges are easier to acquire and the convention floor is navigable without the overwhelming scale of San Diego. This makes it the preferred entry point for families and first-time convention attendees, while still delivering the panel access and guest signings that attract serious fans. The Anaheim Convention Center is located adjacent to Disneyland, with easy access from I-5 and I-405. The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) connects to the convention area via shuttle during the event. Multiple hotels within walking distance. Badge sales open months in advance — early purchase strongly recommended as popular badge tiers sell out.

Anime Riverside is the Inland Empire's premier anime convention, held annually at the Riverside Convention Center and drawing attendees from across SoCal's vast inland communities — Riverside, San Bernardino, Temecula, Redlands, and beyond.

The convention features a full weekend of panels, an Exhibit Hall with anime merchandise and collectibles, Artist Alley, gaming rooms, cosplay contests, and special guests including voice actors and industry figures. The Riverside Convention Center's accessible downtown location offers walkable dining and parking throughout the convention complex. Anime Riverside has grown consistently year over year and has become a community anchor for IE anime culture. The convention typically runs the last weekend of May or first weekend of June. Note: 2027 dates are expected to be announced after Anime Riverside 2026 concludes. This listing reflects the anticipated May-June 2027 window based on historical scheduling.

San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon 2027

The Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon runs through the streets and canyons of San Diego in June 2027, one of the flagship events of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon series and one of the most musically themed marathon experiences anywhere. Every mile of the course features live bands positioned along the route — local and regional musicians in every genre provide continuous entertainment for runners as they cover the 26.2-mile course through downtown San Diego, Balboa Park, and the beach communities. The Rock 'n' Roll format has transformed marathon running's social culture since its launch in San Diego in 1998 — the combination of running and live music makes the marathon accessible as a community event for non-runners who come to spectate and participate in the street festival atmosphere, and it provides runners with entertainment that makes the distance genuinely more manageable. The San Diego course starts in the Little Italy/Balboa Park area, passes through downtown, Mission Hills, and Old Town, and winds through the neighborhoods that make San Diego's urban terrain distinctive. The finish line festival on the waterfront Embarcadero features headliner concert performance after the main finish window. Registration available through RunRocknRoll.com — the San Diego race fills quickly and registration often opens for priority access before the general public sale. The accompanying half-marathon and 5K events run on the same weekend. Spectating is free along the course; parking throughout downtown with heavy demand on race morning.

Anime Expo 2027 — Los Angeles Convention Center
Jul 1 – Jul 4, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

Anime Expo 2027 returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center over the Fourth of July weekend, marking another year of what has become the largest anime convention in North America. AX draws over 100,000 attendees annually to experience the full spectrum of Japanese animation, manga, gaming, music, and pop culture in one of the most densely packed convention weekends in the world. The LACC footprint spans multiple halls and the adjacent JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels, hosting industry panels, world premiere announcements, screening rooms, an exhibit hall with hundreds of vendors, autograph sessions with voice actors and anime composers, and concerts and live performances that sell out weeks in advance. Industry guests from major animation studios in Japan make AX their primary North American announcement platform — if a major sequel, adaptation, or licensing deal is going to be revealed, AX is often where it happens first. For fans of specific series, the AX floor is where you find rare imported merchandise, exclusive collaboration products, and limited-run items that do not appear anywhere else. For casual anime watchers, the convention is a crash course in the depth and breadth of the community surrounding the medium. Badge types range from Premier Fan badges (early access, priority room entry) to general admission single-day passes. The convention runs Thursday through Sunday over Independence Day weekend. Plan for crowds and book hotels inside the connected hotel corridor months in advance for the most convenient experience.

Anime Expo 2027 — Day 1 (Thursday)
Jul 1, 2027 Los Angeles Convention Center, 120…

Anime Expo 2027 returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center for the world's largest celebration of Japanese animation, manga, gaming, and music. Day 1 — Thursday July 1 — marks the traditional pre-weekend opening with badge pickup, early exhibitor floor access, and the first programming blocks of the convention weekend. AX is the premier anime convention in the United States, drawing over 100,000 attendees over four days. Day 1 is quieter than the weekend rush — lines are shorter at Artist Alley and the exhibit floor, and early-access badge holders get first position at exclusive merchandise booths before stock depletes. Premier Fan badge holders have dedicated registration lanes that clear in minutes. Programming on Day 1 includes Anisong World Matsuri (Japanese pop music concert), industry panels from major studios, cosplay gathering coordination, and the infamous AX Marketplace where bootleg-adjacent finds appear alongside licensed goods. The Los Angeles Convention Center is located at 1201 S Figueroa St in downtown LA. Metro accessible via the Blue/Expo Line at Pico Station. Multiple parking structures on-site and adjacent. Badge registration for Anime Expo 2027 opens in late 2026 — Premier Fan badges sell out in hours. General badges available at the door subject to capacity.
