About this Event

SET YOUR PHASERS TO STUNNING: Gilded & Galactic

Black Friday is dead. Long live Gold Friday!

For years, Chewbacchus has gathered its nerds, freaks, aliens and assorted space weirdos for Set Your Phasers to Stunning, our annual season kickoff variety show. This year, we're changing the format but keeping the same gloriously strange Chewbacchus spirit.

Introducing Gilded & Galactic, a costume-forward intergalactic gathering celebrating the art of dressing completely, magnificently and unnecessarily extra.

Come dressed to stun and get ready to:

Walk the Galactic Cosmic Carpet: Make your grand entrance and show off your interstellar style.
Capture the Look: Add on a professional costume portrait to commemorate your galactic glamour.
Enjoy Live Entertainment: A selection of performances throughout the evening.
Enter the Gilded Galactic Costume Contest: A panel of judges will select finalists from the crowd and invite them to the Alien Catwalk for a final walk-off. One supreme space icon will take home the grand prize: $42 and a Gilded Prize Pack!

Become the glittering galactic diva you were always meant to be. DIY couture, cosmic camp, alien elegance and intergalactic weirdness are highly encouraged.

More music and performance announcements coming soon!

TICKETS:

General Admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
Golden Hour VIP Admission is $30 and includes VIP Golden Hour Reception from 8 - 9 p.m. and includes photo op.

WANT TO PERFORM OR VOLUNTEER?
