2028 Games RV travel in California

San Diego Comic-Con International 2028. Official 2028 dates have not been announced yet — only editions through 2026 are confirmed (July 23-26, 2026, Preview Night July 22). Based on the convention's long-running Thursday-Sunday run in the last full week of July, plan provisionally for roughly July 20-23, 2028 (Preview Night ~Jul 19) and confirm on comic-con.org once the calendar posts. Badge sales run through Member ID + Open Registration lotteries the prior fall. RVs cannot park in the Gaslamp / Marina district; the canonical base is Mission Bay RV Resort (~8 mi north, full hookups, MTS Route 8 to Old Town Transit Center, transfer to the Trolley downtown), Chula Vista RV Resort (~10 mi south on San Diego Bay, full hookups, Blue Line Trolley access), or Sweetwater Summit Regional Park (~14 mi southeast, electric only). MTS Green + Silver Line stops sit adjacent to the Convention Center and run extended hours during the convention.

MLS Cup Final 2026. MLS Cup Final 2026 is hosted by the higher-seeded conference finalist (single match, single venue). Host venue confirmed in November after Conference Finals.

Tournament of Roses Parade + Rose Bowl Game. Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena annually January 1. Many spectators park RVs overnight along the parade route (Colorado Boulevard) — a Pasadena tradition with city-permit rules.

Grand National Roadster Show 2027. The longest-running indoor car show in the world fills the Pomona Fairplex with custom roadsters, hot rods and the AMBR trophy field. A retro-styled rig keeps the road-trip-in dovetailing with the show culture.

Death Valley Dark Sky Festival 2027. Death Valley NP hosts annual Dark Sky Festival in February. Furnace Creek + Stovepipe Wells campgrounds RV-accessible.

San Francisco Pride Parade 2027. San Francisco Pride Parade + Civic Center festival, last full weekend of June. San Francisco RV Resort (Pacifica) or Marin RV Park (Greenbrae) are the practical bases; BART connects both to downtown.

San Diego Comic-Con 2027. San Diego Comic-Con 2027.

Monterey Car Week 2027. Hotel prices climb steeply during Car Week. Classic VW Westfalia or restored Airstream is the move — fits the vibe + saves on nightly rates.

Outside Lands 2027 — San Francisco. Outside Lands Music + Arts Festival in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. RV options: San Francisco RV Resort (Pacifica), Half Moon Bay State Beach (~30 min south), Marin RV Park (Greenbrae) for north-bay access via Golden Gate Bridge.

Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2027 (76th). The 76th running of the single most prestigious Sunday of Monterey Car Week. A restored Airstream or classic VW Westfalia fits the vibe and sidesteps Peninsula hotel rates that climb steeply this weekend.

MCAS Miramar Air Show 2027. The MCAS Miramar Air Show is among the biggest military air shows in the United States, flown from the Marine Corps Air Station made famous by naval aviation lore in San Diego. It has typically been held on a late-September weekend with military demonstration teams headlining — but honest planning note: as a military-hosted event, dates and even editions are confirmed year by year and operational needs have adjusted the schedule in the past, so verify the 2027 edition on the official site before building a trip around it. Admission has historically been free with paid upgraded seating. There is no public camping on base, so an RV trip means a San Diego basecamp: Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve offers a well-equipped campground 20 minutes east, and Campland on the Bay sits on Mission Bay for a beach-plus-airshow combination. Late September is shoulder season — San Diego weather at its best with summer crowds gone — making rig availability better than July; 6-8 weeks of lead is usually plenty.

Big Sur International Marathon 2028. The Big Sur International Marathon runs point-to-point up Highway 1 from Big Sur to Carmel on a road closed entirely for the race — past Bixby Bridge, with a grand piano traditionally playing at Hurricane Point's base. It is set for April 30, 2028 — the last Sunday of April, per the race's published future dates — and entry is by lottery and registration tiers that open the preceding summer. The logistics are the trick: runners bus to the start in darkness because the course road is closed, and spectator access along Highway 1 is essentially nil — supporters wait in Carmel. That makes an RV base in the Monterey area the practical setup: Marina Dunes RV Park sits on the dunes 20 minutes north of Carmel, and the Monterey Peninsula fills race weekend, so 10 weeks of lead protects your options. Late April is superb on the central coast — whales migrating, hills green — and the same rig covers a Highway 1 recovery cruise south once the road reopens.
