About This Event

Nerd Wednesdays is transforming the space for one wicked night into The Villain’s Ball — an immersive evening built for the bad guys, antiheroes, morally questionable favorites, and anyone ready to step into their villain era.

Expect the Nerd Wednesdays you know… with a much darker makeover. 🖤

🎭 THE NIGHT WILL FEATURE:

🎧 Live DJ keeping the villain soundtrack going all night

🎤 Karaoke — because even villains deserve their main-character moment

👑 Cosplay Fashion Show — villains, antiheroes, dark characters and creative interpretations welcome! Cosplay is encouraged, never required.

🎮 Gaming Tournaments — compete, talk trash responsibly, and claim your bragging rights

🎟️ Raffles & Prizes throughout the night

🍷 Drinks — including complimentary wine with admission

🖤 A Completely Transformed Space — we're giving Nerd Wednesdays a Villain’s Ball takeover for the night. Come ready for the atmosphere, photo moments, and a few surprises.

And, of course, plenty of opportunities to game, mingle, meet fellow nerds, take pictures, sing badly (or suspiciously well), show off your look, and cause a reasonable amount of chaos.

🥃 WANT THE VIP TREATMENT?

A limited number of Villain’s Ball VIP tickets will be available featuring exclusive perks and collectibles, including a limited-edition engraved Villain’s Ball glass, custom Nerd Wednesdays VIP bag, extra raffle entries, a VIP-only prize drawing, and more.

VIP quantities will be limited.

🦹 DRESS CODE?

Your villain era.

Full cosplay. Formal villain. Anime antagonist. Comic-book baddie. Video-game villain. Dark glam. Suit and tie. Evil queen. Antihero. Or simply come as yourself.

Cosplay is encouraged — not required.

Whether you're coming to compete, cosplay, karaoke, dance, game, or just experience the transformation…

Choose your look. Assemble your crew. Embrace your dark side.
