Palm Springs
Now in its second year, Comic Palm Palm Springs will return August 25 – 27, 2017 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, located at 277 N. Avenida Caballeros. As with last year, Comic Con Palm Springs endeavors to bring together some of the most passionate and talented people from the world of comic books and entertainment to produce an exciting new comic con in one of the most famous and fun cities in the world. Its team reports they’ve spent years working, observing, and listening to what people want and sought from their comic con experiences, and seek to reflect that in the experience presented—to make Comic Con Palm Springs something special each and every year.

The attendance is expected to increase this year and show organizers have announced that several major celebrities (including artists, authors, celebrities, producers and voice actors) will make appearances at the event. 2017 guests will include Stan Lee, J.
