Comic-Con International: San Diego’s planned in-person event for Thanksgiving weekend no longer seems certain as the organizer offers a new update.
Comic-Con International: San Diego’s recently announced November in-person event no longer seems to be set in stone.
“Comic-Con Special Edition was never intended to be the large gathering reflective of the summer event,” Comic-Con wrote in a statement. “As a shorter event, it was our attempt to start slowly and cautiously while at the same time addressing the desire from fans to have an in-person show. There are still many factors that are unknown to us at this time, including space accommodations, travel restrictions, capacity restrictions, and required safety protocols. While open to all and with the hope that we will be able to accommodate fans from all over, we understand that due to potential travel-based restrictions and challenges, Comic-Con Special Edition may be an event attended mostly by fans more easily able to travel to San Diego.”
“Currently we do not know whether having this event in November is even feasible as we are still in the midst of the pandemic and while we are optimistic about Q4, we have not been privy to any specific information on large gatherings,” the company continued. “However, it was our desire to have something in place for our fans who have longed for an in-person event. We truly hope that you will join us for this entry back into the world of in-person celebrations of the community we so love.”
After being forced to cancel San Diego Comic-Con in 2020 due to COVID-19, the company planned to host another virtual event in 2021. However, it was later announced that an in-person event would take place over Thanksgiving weekend, though the announcement wasn’t met with open arms by the comic creators and celebrities who frequently attend the show.
