How to Celebrate Comic Con in San Diego with your Pet
The time has come and San Diego Comic-Con is near! Whether you are a hardcore cosplayer or simply just want to enjoy the festivities, we can all agree that it is always a better time when there is a pup by your side!
While pets other than service animals are not allowed inside the convention, there are plenty of ways to celebrate with your furry friend. These include the annual PAWmicon by Helen Woodward Animal Center and Kitties & Coffee for San Diego Comic-Con.
PAWmicon
Mark your calendars for an epic adventure at PAWmicon on Saturday, July 20th, 2024, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm at AleSmith Brewing Company. Assemble your pack for a super 2024 PAWmicon day featuring superhero dogs, refreshing beer, PAWSplay costume contests, musical bingo, pet-focused vendors, photo opportunities, cosplayers, food trucks, and more, plus the chance to win great prizes, all while supporting the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center!
The highlight of the day is the annual PAWSplay costume contest, where caped canines and their human sidekicks show off their super-powered creativity.
Choose your battle in one of three exciting categories:
Superheroes & Super Villains,
Pop Culture Pups,
and Dynamic Duos, Trios & More.
Prizes will be awarded to the winner and runner-up in each category. Get your capes ready and register your four-legged hero here!
PAWmicon is all about celebrating the mission of adopting orphaned pets and inspiring future generations to be the superheroes these animals need. General admission is FREE for everyone, while VIP Lounge tickets offer exclusive access to Raising Cane’s lunch box, one free beer from AleSmith, a sweet treat from Nothing Bundt Cakes, and a great balcony view of the PAWSplay costume contest – all for $30!
