Star Trek Fleet Command activation at SDCC 2026!

One of the coolest offsite activations at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, particularly if you’re a Star Trek fan, celebrates Star Trek’s 60th anniversary. The mobile game Star Trek Fleet Command has assembled original uniforms and props from every live action television series of the science fiction franchise.

On this final day of SDCC 2026, I got in line early and enjoyed a visit!

Fans would love the displays, photo ops, a Holodeck virtual reality experience, and a claw machine with Star Trek prizes. I skipped the latter attractions and focused my camera on the many uniforms and props. If you missed experiencing this offsite, you might enjoy my photographs!

Crazy creative fun on Saturday at Comic-Con 2026!

Saturday is the craziest, wildest, most creatively exciting day every year during San Diego Comic-Con. 2026 is no exception!

Look at what you might encounter by simply walking around downtown San Diego.

The Gaslamp Quarter in particular is absolutely jam packed with people, engaged in cosplay, enjoying the experience, coming and going to the convention center, offsites, restaurants, hotels…

CleanUp Kitsune cleans up San Diego Comic-Con!

Look who I spotted today picking up trash outside San Diego Comic-Con. Lila and Corey Cleary-Stoner, also known as CleanUp Kitsune!

CleanUp Kitsune combines picking up litter with performance art while wearing full Japanese costume. You’ve quite possibly seen them leading clean ups in Balboa Park. For example, here.

Hello you two! Thank you for all you do! Great to see you again!

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort at Comic-Con!

A super fun offsite activation at Comic-Con 2026 takes place outside the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel. It promotes the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch Sports Resort video game!

The wait wasn’t too long today, made more entertaining by competition between Comic-Con fans on a big outdoor screen.

Once inside, we could sample playing the twelve sports featured in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Friendly staff show you how.

From archery to thumb wrestling to 100 pin bowling, the motion control sports are a lot of fun!

When you exit, you score a cool visor, too!

Some pics to provide a taste…

Adopt a Snoopy sibling at Comic-Con!

Peanuts is back for another San Diego Comic-Con. As before, their offsite in 2026 is on MLK Promenade across from the San Diego Convention Center. With its big Snoopy graphics, you can’t miss it!

Lovers of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang will enjoy photo ops, but more importantly, exclusive merchandise.

You can “adopt” one or all of Snoopy’s siblings: Spike, Belle, Olaf, Marbles and Andy! The plush dogs for purchase even come with adoption papers, I was told!
