Get ready to party with your favorite yellow mischief-makers — the Minions are bringing their infectious energy to San Diego Comic-Con 2025 in the form of a free rooftop rave like no other.
Taking place on Friday, July 25th, at the vibrant Cielo Rooftop Lounge, this unique event invites fans of Despicable Me to don their best Minion cosplay and dance the night away above the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter.
A Minion Party with a View
Hosted during one of the world’s most iconic pop culture conventions, the Minion Rooftop Rave Comic-Con promises to be the standout afterparty of the weekend. As convention-goers finish a long day of panels, celebrity sightings, and merch hauls, they can head sky-high for an unforgettable night surrounded by neon lights, DJ beats, and hundreds of fellow Minion lovers.
And yes, costumes are encouraged. Whether you’re rocking denim overalls, yellow face paint, or Minion goggles, the more absurd and animated your look, the better.
Despicable Meets Danceable
Organizers are tapping into the massive crossover between rave culture and nostalgic animation, turning the lovable chaos of Gru’s yellow henchmen into a euphoric dancefloor experience. Expect a mix of electronic dance music, immersive lighting, themed drinks, and playful chaos that only the Minions could inspire.
This quirky concept follows a growing trend of pop culture-themed raves sweeping the U.S., including recent events inspired by Shrek, Pokémon, The Powerpuff Girls, and Stranger Things. These genre-blending parties are redefining nightlife by combining fandom, fantasy, and festival energy.
