Our very first post-Season 4 Stranger Things Day is right around the corner and Netflix is going all out to celebrate. In the very first episode of Stranger Things, Will Byers goes missing on November 6, 1983, kicking off a series of events that would have us pulled into the Upside Down for years to come. In the years since the show’s debut in 2016, November 6 has become Stranger Things Day, celebrated by both fans and the streamer alike. This year Netflix has given us a taste of what to expect for this weekend’s celebrations including theatrical screenings, online watch parties, new merchandise, and more!
In-Person Stranger Things Day Events
For lucky fans in several locations across North America, you’ll be able to watch Part 2 of Stranger Things Season 4 on the big screen. Netflix is teaming up with select theaters in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Chicago, Phoenix, San Francisco, Austin, Denver, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington DC, Seattle, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, and Toronto for special screenings of these epic episodes. Fans are also encouraged to dress up for the event which will also include costume contests, trivia, giveaways, and more!
Fans in Atlanta, L.A., and London can also celebrate by participating in the Stranger Things Experience. This year’s version of the immersive experience captures both the horror and the delight of the series with a treacherous trip to Hawkins Lab, followed by a nostalgic 80s throwback as you explore Scoops Ahoy, Family Video, and the Palace Arcade and enjoy food and drinks inspired by the series. And if you’re in Miami, Dallas, or Paris you’ll have a chance to visit the Stranger Things Store, which will feature new merchandise, games from the Palace Arcade, and more.
