Netflix is rolling out One Last Ride and turning Los Angeles streets into a Stranger Things wonderland where bikes, skates, and even strollers roam freely on November 23rd. Photo ops, live entertainment, and surprise giveaways lurk around every corner, making it feel like a scavenger hunt through Hawkins-level nostalgia. Pins, merch, and interactive quests are scattered along the route, while Volume 1 drops November 26, adding neon-fueled urgency to the madness.
Guests are encouraged to channel their favorite Hawkins residents or embrace full Upside Down monster energy.

The event turns casual spectators into walking, highlighted billboards of fandom, reminding everyone that the ’80s aesthetic never dies.
