Right on the San Diego bayfront, Adult Swim has a festival filled with comedians, live music and free activities for anyone 18 years and older. Although some of the scheduled meet and greets were canceled (in light of the double Hollywood strike), there’s still plenty of things to do at the festival in the afternoons, like cartoon-themed trivia, musical experiences and games. The Friday evening live performances feature Flying Lotus, Debby Friday and Hemlocke Springs. Saturday night performances include Ginger Root and Saba.
Location: Behind the convention center on the San Diego bayfront.
How to attend: Online reservations are sold out, but people can wait in a standby line.
