Comic-Con and the Party Report return to San Diego where celebrities also embraced the con’s thriving party scene, after last year’s Hollywood labor strikes shut most of the parties down. EW’s annual bash made a triumphant return to the Hard Rock’s Float rooftop, along with Fandom and a few notable others.
This year, there was plenty to do offsite around the convention, so here are TheWrap’s photos from some of SDCC 2024‘s best parties and activations.
