SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Events that traditionally bring San Diegans outside have moved online this weekend.
San Diego Comic-Con is being held virtual, but fans will still get to experience the great panels, exclusive merch, and interactivity of the convention online through free live streams.
The San Diego Padres are also beginning the season without fans in the stands, but you can still catch the Friars from home or while socially distancing at your favorite restaurants while outdoor dining.
For those who missed out on the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon this year, you can get your running in, times tallied, and training logged through the event's virtual series. This weekend, sign up for free and jump into the VR13 Remix race series.
(As a reminder, residents are encouraged to stay home if they feel ill and avoid large gatherings with people not from the same household. The county also requires residents to practice social distancing and wear a facial covering when within six feet of those not from the same household.)
San Diego Comic-Con@Home (Friday - Sunday): This year's Comic-Con convention is being held entirely online for free from July 22 to July 26 — ensuring fans get the chance to interact with their favorite fandoms and, of course, absolutely no lines.
