Comic Con 2012

July 12, 2012 to July 15, 2012

Well known as San Diego's biggest and best convention, Comic Con 2012 is just around the corner. Celebrating it's 42nd annual convention here, San Diego is thrilled to know that Comic Con hotel has extended their contract to stay in San Diego for years to come. Originally showcasing comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television (as was evident by the three circled figures appearing in Comic-Con's original logo), and related popular arts, the convention has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture elements, such as horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. The convention is the largest in the Americas, and fourth largest in the world, filling to capacity the San Diego Convention Center with over 130,000 attendees in 2010.

Past Pacific Beach Events

San Diego Surf Film Festival
May 05, 2012 to May 14, 2012

The inaugural San Diego Surf Film Festival welcomes one and all to celebrate the passion that we all share for just being in the ocean. Since Bruce Brown sent shockwaves throughout the world with “Endless Summer” the surf film has become a staple in our lives. Surfing and surf cinema alike have been developed by individuals with a deep passion for trying to capture and preserve the very special feeling of just being a surfer. And they will continue to do so long after every one has gone home. So to honor this tradition, we are announcing a call for submissions to all filmmakers with a passion to keep making surf films not because you have to but because you need to.
