The Kpop Eras Experience runs in two acts. A free, all-ages Mini Fest fills the afternoon, and a 21+ Night Party keeps it going until 1 a.m. NWA Kpop Eras presents the day with Main Character Productions and The Feelgood Collective.

Afternoon Fan Service

The Mini Fest runs outdoors from 2 to 6 p.m. It’s free, it’s all ages, and no ticket is needed. The vendor marketplace and the Snap Era photo booth stay up all afternoon while the rest of the lineup rolls out in order:

• Fan Swap Meet – This is where the binders come out. Bring yours for photocard and album trading (by consent only), then hit the DIY station to decorate toploaders and make bracelets.
• Trivia and Guess the Song – One-second song intros and small prizes. One second! Good luck.
• Karaoke Wall – The lyrics go up on the wall so the whole crowd can sing along.
• Random Play Dance – A DJ runs it live, with fast song switches and choreography everyone knows.
• Group photo – This closes out the afternoon, followed by last call at the vendor tables.

Got a track the dance floor needs? Request it for the afternoon set at kpopnwa.com/request-a-song.

A Nintendo Switch 2 Tops the Prize Table

Grab a free drawing ticket at the Mini Fest for a shot at more than $1,000 in prizes. Winners get drawn in waves all afternoon. The grand prize, a Nintendo Switch 2, is drawn at 5:30, right before the group photo. Also up for grabs:

• Korean language lessons – A free Spring 2027 semester of Sunday Korean Language School plus 50% off vouchers, from Han Academy
• Seven K-pop vinyls – LE SSERAFIM, KATSEYE, BLACKPINK, BTS, Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, and ATEEZ, from Events by Lor
• Music studio starter package – Everything needed to start your own comeback
• Korean snack box – Courtesy of A’Chau Asian Market
• NEEDOH Fuzz Ball – The Flower Power stress ball
• LEGO KPop Demon Hunters set – Build Derpy and Sussie Bird yourself

More prizes are still being added, so the table may keep growing.

Pick a Gen, Any Gen

Dress as your favorite era, anywhere from 1st gen through 5th. Rock your bias’s colors, channel a favorite concept, or show up exactly as you are. Every era is welcome.

After Dark Comeback

Once the Mini Fest clears out, the Night Party takes over from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. for the 21+ crowd. Bring a valid photo ID. Kimle Luvmore and DJ Feelgood are on the decks, and what they play is a surprise. (The Era Mix is just the background playlist, not the party set.) Expect a crowd that knows every word and every fan chant.

Tickets are $25 in advance on Posh, and each one comes with a free photo from the Snap Era booth. Buy ahead, then check in with your phone at the door. Signature drinks are $6, and you can preview the Era Menu at kpopnwa.com/drinks.

Need fuel between acts? Crown Northwest has dinner on the menu, so the whole day happens at one address. The night ends with a last song, so line up your ride home before you go.

Arkansas Roots, World Tour

1VERSE (say it “universe”) is sponsoring the Mini Fest. They are a K-pop group from Singing Beetle with a hometown hook. Member Nathan is from Bentonville, which makes him the first K-pop idol from Arkansas. The group played The Momentary twice in February 2026.

On October 27, 2026, Singing Beetle announced a first mini album and a second world tour for 2027, closing the book on the group’s SHATTERED era. Tour dates and ticket details will come through 1VERSE’s official channels, and you can find the group’s news at 1verse.club.

See you there, NWA.
