THINGS TO DO WITHOUT A BADGE: COMIC-CON 2025

Comic-Con’s crashing back into San Diego, and while the diehards are camping for panels, you’ve got better things to do, like hitting off-site themed cafes, secret screenings, and even an underground lightsaber fight.

This guide rounds up the badge-free fun, turning the city into a beautiful nerd circus, and everyone’s invited. Best costume wins!

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Mid City Go! is a free shuttle that works the old-school way — no app, no login, just a phone call. It serves City Heights and North Park weekdays from 9 to 5.

• Don’t forget! Tomorrow is 7/11 day. Go cool off and grab a free Slurpee from any 711 store across the city.
