Stranger Things: Tales from '85

Apr 23 – Apr 25, 2026 Free (streaming) Streaming on Netflix — Worldwide

Hawkins in 1985 — the summer heat, the arcade, the specific kind of dread that creeps in at the edges of a perfect day. Stranger Things: Tales from '85 premieres April 23, 2026 on Netflix as an animated anthology spinoff set in the same universe, the same summer, with new characters and new stories that feel like unlocking a hidden chapter. Executive produced by the Duffer Brothers. This is the Stranger Things universe expanding in a new direction — a different art form for a mythology that's already proven it can carry the weight. On Netflix everywhere.

Pasadena Comic Con 2026

Jan 25, 2026 Pasadena Convention Center, Pasade…

One day only. Which is the constraint that makes this one work, because you cannot pace yourself across a weekend, so the whole floor moves at the speed of somebody who knows exactly which table they have to reach first. Cosplay competitions where the costume that wins is usually the one with an engineering problem solved inside it. Panels with creators who are still standing in the hallway afterward, taking the questions nobody asked them on stage. Booths where the real find is three boxes deep and priced by someone who was in a hurry. Comics, anime, gaming, and film all sharing one hall, which means the conversations cross over in ways the enormous conventions have gotten too big to allow anymore. Pasadena Convention Center, a single day of it, badges through the event site. Send it to the friend who talks about their childhood collection the way people talk about someone they lost touch with.

L.A. Comic Con 2025

Sep 26 – Sep 28, 2025 Los Angeles Convention Center

Downtown gets strange for one weekend. People in full armor waiting at a crosswalk. A Sailor Scout eating a hot dog on the steps. Nobody looks twice, because for those few days the Convention Center holds the largest gathering in this city of people who are unembarrassed about what they love. That is the actual draw. The celebrity panels are good, the sneak peeks are good, the artist tables are where you find the thing you did not know you wanted, and the gaming tournaments run hot — but the reason people keep coming back is the walk from the parking structure to the doors, where you stop being the person at work with a shelf of figures and start being one of thousands. Comics, film, television, anime, horror, and cosplay, all of it under one roof at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Bring the coworker who mentioned once, quietly, that they used to collect. Watch what happens to their face in the first hour.

Long Beach Comic Con 2025

Aug 30 – Aug 31, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center, Long…

Your best conversation of the weekend will be with somebody sitting behind a folding table with a stack of their own comics and no line yet. That is artist alley, and it is why people who have done every big convention still make room for this one. The floor carries the whole spread — comics, film and television, gaming, and the collectibles that only surface when a collector finally decides to let go. Panels run from the superhero machine down to indie books three people have read, and the creators who made them are in the room instead of on a screen. The cosplay contest is where six-month builds finally get judged by people qualified to appreciate the seam work. It takes over the convention center on the Long Beach waterfront for a weekend, floor and panels together. Go with the friend whose long box you have been hearing about for years.

Comic-Con International: San Diego 2025

Jul 24 – Jul 27, 2025 San Diego Convention Center

The line forms before dawn and nobody standing in it is unhappy about that. Somebody passes back a folding chair. Somebody explains a costume they spent months building to a stranger who genuinely wants to know. This is the part outsiders never understand — the waiting is not the tax you pay for the convention. It is a large part of the convention. Inside, the San Diego Convention Center holds every fandom at once and refuses to rank them: comics, anime, science fiction, fantasy, gaming, all of it running at the same time across panels, sneak peeks, and floors of merchandise you cannot get anywhere else. The biggest names in entertainment come here to say things out loud for the first time, and one aisle over an independent creator is selling you a book they drew themselves. Both happen in the same building. That is the actual miracle. Cosplay in every direction, collectibles, and a city that hands itself over for the weekend. Go with the person who got you into all of it.

National Video Game Day

Jul 8, 2025 909 Gamer Blvd, Play City, USA

National Video Game Day lands on July 8 every year — and for gaming communities across Southern California, it's an excuse to stop playing alone and get in a room together. Game stores, arcades, and community venues typically mark the day with tournaments, free-play nights, and special events. In San Diego and Los Angeles, spots like Game Empire, GameSync, and Artificer regularly host themed nights around gaming milestones — National Video Game Day included. What does the local gaming scene actually look like on this day? Think: Magic: The Gathering open tables, Smash Bros brackets, retro console setups, and board game marathons. The vibe is less competition, more communal — the kind of night where you show up not knowing anyone and leave with a Discord handle and a rematch scheduled. If you grew up with a controller in your hand, National Video Game Day is the one day the culture gives you permission to drag your friends out of their apartments and into a room where everyone gets it. San Diego and Temecula have a surprisingly deep local gaming scene — weekly TCG nights, monthly tabletop opens, and retro gaming events running year-round. This is the community that shows up every week, not just on the holiday.

Furry Weekend Los Angeles 2025

Jun 19 – Jun 22, 2025 Hilton Los Angeles Airport, Los An…

Furry Weekend Los Angeles 2025 brings Southern California's furry community together for a full weekend of creativity, costuming, and connection at the Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale & Executive Meeting Center. The convention draws fans of anthropomorphic art and character culture from across the region. Programming spans three days: panel discussions on costume construction and design, art showcases featuring dozens of independent creators, gaming rooms, a dealer hall with handmade prints and plush art, and costume contests where attendees compete for recognition in categories from craftsmanship to performance. What makes Furry Weekend LA distinct is its community-first format. This is not a commercial expo — it is a fan-run gathering with no corporate overlay. Attendees range from seasoned convention regulars who have been attending for years to first-timers brought in by a friend. The social tone is welcoming and non-judgmental, which is why return attendance runs high year over year. Badges available at the door. All ages welcome. Event runs Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Hotel block available at the venue for out-of-town attendees. Check the official website for the full panel schedule and badge pricing tiers.
