You won’t have to go too far to immerse yourself in a galaxy far, far away this Spring in New York City! Fever, the folks who brought us The Sleepy Hollow Experience and The Mad Hatter’s Gin & Tea Party are back with The Fans Strike Back, the galaxy’s largest Star Wars exhibition that aims better than any Stormtrooper to excite fans of all generations!
“Showcasing hundreds of unique collectibles, sculptures, life-size figures, lightsabers, blasters, and more, The Fans Strike Back® takes guests on a journey into both sides of the Force.”
Starting Thursday, March 24th, fans can expect to see “photos, posters, costumes, figures, and models of different types and sizes—all official objects bought by Star Wars fans.” No items from the collection will be available for sale, but there will be a gift shop and “a green chroma (green screen) to take pictures in the Star Wars universe.” according to their website.
If you are interested in showcasing some items from your private collection, you can contact Fever at partners.fansstrikeback@feverup.com.
Food is not currently available at the event but attendees can find a variety of places nearby to eat and chat about all things Star Wars!
A visit to The Fans Strike Back® will last about 60-80 minutes and takes place entirely indoors. Safety measures will be in place throughout the experience and masks are mandatory. Be sure to visit the NYC Health Department website for up-to-date information on the status of Covid -19.
