Fluff your perm & pop on those pearls—Retro Romp – Costume Booze & Grub Crawl, bingo-lovin’, costume crawl through Bixby Knolls, Mrs. Romper / grandma-style!
Honey, grab your cane, fluff your perm, and don’t forget the pearls—Retro Romp is ON!
We’re throwing it back in the most fabulous way with Retro Romp: a Mrs. Roper-approved, Grandma & Grandpa costume booze & grub crawl right here in Bixby Knolls! It’s all happening at your own pace—just like a leisurely stroll through the mall in ’78—through our neighborhood of breweries, wine bars, restaurants, and shops.
This isn’t your average crawl, sugar. We’re talkin’ beer slushies, Jell-O shots, grandma-style pizza slices, dominoes, word searches, funky tunes, and surprise silliness at every stop. Plus, special deals and sales at local shops along the way!
✨ Costumes are absolutely mandatory, darlings! Whether you show up as sassy Mrs. Roper herself or channel your inner bingo-loving grandparent, we want max flair, big hair, orthopedic chic, and all the retro energy you can muster.
📍 Retro Romp rolls out on Sunday, June 1, 2025 from 12pm–4pm.
🎟️ Ticket Stamp Card + Swag pick-up is from 11am–1pm at the Expo Arts Center (4321 Atlantic Ave).
Retro Romp is a ticketed fundraiser in support of the Bixby Knolls Community Foundation & BKBIA, helping fund our year-round community magic. Learn more about our programs here.
