About the Event

Meet and greet with a Willy Wonka cosplayer who'll charm you with his eccentricity and charm straight from the pages of Roald Dahl's beloved tale. Let your creativity run wild at the Candy Construction Workshop, where you'll build fantastical structures using an array of colorful candies and treats. Experience the ancient art of Dragon's Beard Candy Making, where delicate strands of sugary goodness are spun before your very eyes. Get ready to boogie down as the Oompa Loompas take the stage for a toe-tapping dance performance. Dare to take on the Bean Boozled game, where every jellybean is a surprise waiting to be tasted – will it be a delicious treat or a hilariously gross trick?
