It's a live choose-your-own-adventure in real life and all events are free for those that are 18+. Sign-up at AdultSwimPresents.com to fast track your entrance.
New this year, AdultSwim.com will be live broadcasting your favorite streaming shows, including FishCenter, Stupid Morning Bullshit, Williams Street Swap Shop, Development Meeting, and more all from Adult Swim On the Green.

When the sun goes down, fans can come and unwind with free screenings. Nighttime is the right time to stare into the future at Adult Swim's Nighttime on The Green with screenings featuring the latest series and pilots from 8:00 p.m. -10:00 p.m. with lineup starting at 7:00 p.m. On Thursday enjoy Toonami Pre-Flight previewing behind-the-scenes content of our popular anime programming block alongside hosts Jason DeMarco, Gill Austin, Steve Blum (Voice of TOM), and Dana Swanson (Voice of SARA). Friday, the unknown will be revealed at "Things You've Never Seen," a night of specials and original pilots, brought to fans by SNICKERS(R). Blankets, chocolate and surprises provided.
The frenzy over last year's Rick and Morty screening demanded we go bigger. This year, Old Spice will be helping even more fans get their burning questions answered with a special evening featuring creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland at Petco Park on Saturday night from 7:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
Need even more Rick and Morty? The #Rickmobile will be rolling all over San Diego all week long. Track the mad scientist's movements online as the custom mobile pop-up shop stocked with exclusive Rick and Morty items makes its way across Southern California.
Even if you need a ride there, Adult Swim is joining forces with SNICKERS(R) to unveil a fleet of vehicles wrapped with custom artwork from our hit streaming show FishCenter. The cars will be deployed throughout the Gaslamp district as part of our Free Rides Program on Thursday-Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. So, sit back and relax, as passengers will be able to snack on SNICKERS(R) Crisper bars and experience the best of Adult Swim content via rear headset monitors.
