When and where is SDCC?

San Diego Comic Con is hosted in downtown San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center. The convention is always a half-week long event in the summer. The dates vary. This year, the convention officially starts on July 9 with preview night on July 8. The convention goes through Sunday so this year the last day will be July 12. Most people will stay the entire week and visit the local attractions before the event starts.
