It’s a veritable time-travelling adventure, and the surprises don’t end with the fashion. An exclusive pop-up cocktail bar, a delectable lineup of food vendors featuring the likes of “Dingo Ate My Taco” and “Big Bear Donuts,” and a DJ adding the perfect musical backdrop will make this event an all-encompassing delight.
