San Diego is set to welcome a revamped and exciting San Diego Comic-Con in 2025, running from July 24 to July 27. The event, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere filled with thousands of fans in impressive cosplay, will feature new attractions, special merchandise, and focused efforts on human trafficking prevention.
A highlight for attendees will be the upcoming activation titled “Percy Jackson & The Olympians: Sea of Monsters”, which currently is under construction in downtown San Diego and is scheduled to open during the convention. Visitors can engage with the theme of Greek mythology, allowing fans to explore their connections to the stories of Mount Olympus.
The first day of Comic-Con 2025 promises an engaging experience, featuring an exclusive panel with the cast of the highly anticipated “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series. Fans will have the chance to interact with the stars, bolstering the excitement surrounding this beloved narrative.
In addition to celebrity panels, Comic-Con 2025 will host notable attendees, including George Lucas, Ryan Gosling, Elle Fanning, Guillermo del Toro, and James Gunn, who are expected to draw large crowds and enhance the event’s allure.

Historically, San Diego Comic-Con began in the basement of the US Grant Hotel during the 1970s and has grown into an influential event attracting major celebrities and thousands of fans. Over the years, it has developed into a cornerstone of pop culture conventions worldwide.
As part of the measures to ensure a safe environment during the convention, the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force will be activated throughout Comic-Con. This initiative aims to curb illicit activities that may arise during the influx of visitors. Stringent penalties under Assembly Bill 379 have been implemented to combat human trafficking, now providing legal protections for 16- and 17-year-olds. In the previous year, authorities made 16 arrests related to human trafficking during Comic-Con and successfully recovered multiple victims, highlighting the importance of these efforts.
Local businesses in the Gaslamp Quarter are also preparing for the festivities by creating special convention-themed drinks and menus designed to enrich the experience for attendees and showcase the local culture.
Comic-Con 2025 is poised to be a memorable event for all involved with its mix of thrilling experiences, exclusive offerings, and a commitment to safety. The preparations are in full swing, ensuring this year’s convention surpasses the expectations of its enthusiastic fan base.
