MTV’s Fandom Awards Return to San Diego Comic-Con to Rock Petco Park; Nominations, More

Are you ready to rock, San Diego Comic-Con?

The MTV Fandom Awards return to San Diego Comic-Con this year on Thursday, July 21 at Petco Park beginning at 6:30PM – and attendees can stop by for a night of food, drinks, games, giveaways, and more. The event is only open to those with Comic-Con badges.

For the past three years, MTV has taken over Petco Park for one of our favorite free offsite events during San Diego Comic-Con each, featuring free food, free rides, live performances by the likes of Linkin Park (this year’s entertainment hasn’t been announced), and more — making it a great destination for San Diego Comic-Con attendees after the first full day at the convention. You can read our review of the 2014 event to get a better idea of what to expect for 2016.

We recommend lining up early to secure your entry — but it’s an event that’s definitely worth attending.

After you’ve reveled in all that the MTV Fandom Fest party has to offer, stick around for the return of the MTV Fandom Awards, which will be filmed during the party starting at 8PM. No word yet on this year’s hosts.

Voting begins today at fandaomawards.mtv.com, and you can vote on everything from “Best New Fandom of the Year”, “Fan Freak Out of the Year”, “Bandom of the Year”, and more.

The special will then premiere on MTV on Sunday, July 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
