Yellowjackets Pop Up Coming to SXSW 2023

Showtime is bringing its popular mystery series Yellowjackets to SXSW with a three-day pop up. SXSW is notorious for great interactive pop ups and this looks like it’s going to be one of the best!

Here’s what we know about the Yellowjackets SXSW Pop up!

This pop is called “Camp Yellowjackets.” The pop up will feature an abandoned 1990s summer camp experience. There will be hidden Easter eggs from the show, activities, BBQ and specialty cocktails. Plus, our favorite part, special cast guest appearances!

While we think it’s a missed opportunity that they’re not hosting the event at the Yellow Jacket Social Club on East 5th Street, Fair Market is probably the more appropriate venue space-wise. The pop up will be open for three days from March 10 to 12. Friday, March 10 will be a private opening event while the other two days will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Here’s a sneak peak from Showtime:
