A Very Strange New Year's Eve at Hemlock Fox

Crossing the threshold of Hemlock Fox on New Year's Eve will mean you are in the upside down. But the Demogorgons that may be present only want to party! Join us on December 31st to not only ring in the New Year, but also celebrate/mourn Stranger Things coming to an end after 10 years!

There will also be a costume contest! You don't just have to choose to dress like El, Hopper, or Will; any '80s fit will do! If you fit the bill and could step right into the show, you may win the top prize! Hint: Old Bear Vintage is a great place to find the perfect fit!

And of course, we will be showing the final installment of the show!
