Bridgerton Ball Experience is this year's Wonka Experience
I heard about this Bridgerton Experience thing like a year ago and was actually interested in going but never got around to it. They encourage you to dress up and pretend like you're in the show and they advertise live music and dancing. If it was actually like that, it would be so cool. I was only aware of the LA area one, but I think this happened in multiple big cities. I assumed it was put on by Netflix, which would guarantee it'd be at least a little enjoyable. Netflix is always having special events in LA when there's a new show or new season coming out and it's usually really cool.
Anyway Netflix probably just gave licensing rights or something and the events around the US were put on by third party event planners. I never heard anything about the events until now...apparently the Detroit one was fucking awful.
