About this Event
Welcome to Studio Ghibli Night in Chicago, IL!
Join us as we journey into the nail-biting experience of Hayao Miyazaki's famous "Howl's Moving Castle" at Haibayo Cafe! This film from the beloved Studio Ghibli has been stealing the hearts of viewers around the world for decades. We will have Ghibli themed coloring sheets, trivia, word searches, and more with art supplies provided!
This event is free, so bring all of your friends! PLEASE NOTE: Donation tickets do not guarantee your entry. While we appreciate our donors, seating is still first come first serve whether you have a ticket or not. Please make an effort to come early so you can secure a spot as space is very limited.
Please consider leaving a donation as we are EXPANDING THE OVERFLOW ROOM SEATING AREA. Thanks to all you wonderful people, we completely ran out of seating last month in the entire cafe, so this month we are doubling all of our supplies to recreate the front room experience in the back of the store. This means we have to: bring chairs from outside the store, buy a new flatscreen for the movie to play in the cafe, buy a second speaker so the cafe can hear the announcements in the front, buy a second set of clipboards, art supplies, and print double the amount activities for our overflow room. We estimate this to cost $600-800 for all of the listed supplies, and your donations will help us create an equally immersive experience for all attendees in both rooms of the venue. All donors are automatically entered into a raffle to win a unique Ghibli prize! We will also have prizes for Trivia winners as well. We thank you all for your continued interest and support, and we can't wait for studio ghibli night to continue to grow!
Dress Code: COSPLAYS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.
