The venue listing identifies Anime San Diego as a consumer show, but does not give daily hours or a 2027 guest and activity lineup. An organizer recap offers context from an earlier San Diego edition, not a preview.

Panels, fan meet-ups and a Four Empires camp are among the activities the organizer recalls from Anime San Diego’s first year in San Diego. The 2027 listing confirms a return to the San Diego Convention Center on September 4–5, but does not say which, if any, of those activities will be back.
The organizer’s retrospective describes its first San Diego year and looks ahead to seeing fans at the 2027 event. Its examples suggest that the earlier gathering included both scheduled panels and ways for fans to meet or take part in the Four Empires camp. They are historical details, not confirmation of this edition’s activities.

The venue labels Anime San Diego a “Consumer Show.” That category does not specify guests, exhibitors, vendors, rooms or other on-site offerings. The listing gives the venue and dates, but no details that would let visitors plan around particular activities.

The Convention Center’s attendee guide identifies two MTS Trolley stops in front of the building, with service to Little Italy, Old Town, Fashion Valley and other destinations. Downtown is described as walkable; the Gaslamp Quarter is just outside the venue, and the Embarcadero is on its west side.
Santa Fe Depot offers bus and rail connections. The venue guide describes it as a one-mile walk from the Convention Center, or a trolley ride away. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner travels from San Diego through Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo, and the NCTD COASTER serves Solana Beach, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
Ferry service connects the Convention Center with Coronado; the venue guide describes the crossing as a 15-minute trip and directs riders to check the ferry operator’s schedules and ticketing.
The venue guide places San Diego International Airport three miles away and estimates a 10–15-minute trip by car or shuttle. Some hotels offer airport shuttles, so check with your hotel. The guide also reports that Terminal 1 construction is underway and advises travelers to allow extra time; that is information current when checked November 2, 2026, so verify conditions closer to your trip.
Taxis are available at the airport’s transportation plaza; at the Convention Center, a Guest Services or Security representative can help flag one. The airport’s designated transportation plaza is also the rideshare pickup area. For rental cars, the airport’s consolidated rental car center is served by a shuttle, and the venue guide says it includes more than a dozen agencies.
The event listing gives the destination as San Diego Convention Center, 111 W Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101. It does not identify an Anime San Diego entrance or the parts of the building the event will use.
The venue map places exhibit halls and lobbies on the ground level, meeting rooms on the mezzanine and upper levels, and additional spaces on those upper floors. Those general maps do not establish where this event will be held.

The Convention Center’s underground garage has 1,950 spaces, including 31 ADA-compliant stalls with elevator access to the building. The entrance is on Harbor Drive. Payment is due upon entry; there are no in-and-out privileges, and overnight and RV parking are not permitted.
Rates vary with event activity, and the venue does not give an Anime San Diego rate. Another nearby option listed by the venue is a 2,000-space structure at Harbor Drive and Park Avenue, next to the Hilton Bayfront. Other downtown lots and garages are also available.
The Convention Center lists automatic entrance doors, Braille signage, accessible drinking fountains, elevators connecting the ground, mezzanine and upper levels, and certified service animals as welcome. Its accessibility map provides more detail on elevators and ramps. The venue also lists wheelchair-accessible and semi-ambulatory restroom stalls and an inclusive restroom.
ADA-accessible Mothers Lounges are in ground-level Lobbies A and E; Mamava lactation pods are in Lobbies B and H. Assistive-listening headsets are available by advance request. The venue lists wheelchair lifts for stages and prefers advance requests for pre-sets.
These are general venue provisions, not confirmation of Anime San Diego arrangements. Contact the event organizer about additional assistance and event-specific access. The Convention Center does not rent wheelchairs or mobility scooters; local companies offer rentals, and an organizer may provide equipment onsite, so confirm availability directly.
