Save<\/p>\n

On Sunday, November 23<\/strong>, Melrose Avenue will transform into a car-free playground for fans of Stranger Things. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.,<\/strong> Netflix and CicLAvia are teaming up for Stranger Things 5: One Last Ride<\/a>, a day-long celebration of the show\u2019s fifth and final season.<\/strong> Bikes<\/a>, skates, and sneakers will replace cars along the four-mile stretch connecting Fairfax and Vermont Avenues, turning the street into a pop-up version of Hawkins. <\/strong>Plus, upside-down surprises are included!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step Into Hawkins <\/p>\n

Fans can expect immersive activations, photo ops, and themed programming<\/strong> along the route, from merch drops and giveaways to live entertainment.<\/strong> There\u2019s even a special quest<\/strong> to collect stamps by completing activities at checkpoints to unlock extra surprises, adding a playful scavenger hunt element to the day.<\/p>\n

If dressing up is your thing, think 1980s neon, leg warmers, windbreakers, or channel your favorite Hawkins resident or monster. Either way, the event leans into nostalgia and spectacle, giving attendees a chance to feel fully transported into the Stranger Things universe just days before Volume 1 hits Netflix on November 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hubs, Highlights, and Local Gems <\/p>\n

The route features three hubs, Fairfax, Melrose, and Vermont,<\/strong> where bikes must dismount and walking is encouraged. Each hub offers family-friendly activities, photo ops, free water stations, basic bike repair, pedicab rides, restrooms, and first aid. These hubs also act as meeting points for the Stranger Things quest<\/strong> and as pop-up destinations to explore local businesses and cultural landmarks along Melrose.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things Open Street Day <\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a Stranger Things fan event. It\u2019s CicLAvia\u2019s 64th car-free open streets day<\/strong> since 2010, part of a mission to reclaim public streets as spaces for community, activity, and culture. CicLAvia temporarily turns car traffic into a people-powered cityscape, inviting Angelenos to move through the city at their own pace, discover local businesses, and connect with their neighborhoods in a way that cars never allow.<\/p>\n

For this special collaboration, Melrose becomes a space where storytelling meets urban mobility:<\/strong> Hawkins comes alive, the Upside Down peeks around corners, and fans of all ages can participate in a fully immersive, car-free adventure.<\/p>\n
