Willy Wonka Chocolate Party Invites You To Dance With Oompa Loompas At Bushwick Factory

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — You don't need a golden ticket to get a glimpse inside this chocolate factory. A Willy Wonka-styled dance party is being held Friday in Bushwick's Fine & Raw facility.

“Oh my god, it’s gonna be bananas,” said Operations Director Ryann Mead. “The air you’re breathing is chocolatey, everyone is in costume, it’s just high, high energy.”

The party will being at 9 p.m. at the factory on the corner of Siegel and Bogart streets. Expect lots of partying Oompa Loompas.

Sweets will abound — 40 special edition Fine and Raw chocolate bars will be for sale with prizes for those who find one of 10 golden tickets. There will be truffles flavored with hazelnut butter, whiskey vanilla and strawberry hibiscus and drinks with Sour Patch Kids floating inside, according to Mead.

Fine & Raw has been producing and selling raw chocolate — a more delicate chocolate cooked over a low heat — from its Bushwick warehouse since 2012. The company specializes in high-end goods sourced from sustainable farmers across the globe.

The company hosted its first Willy Wonka Party in 2016 and decided to make it a tradition because “it was one of the best parties we’ve ever thrown,” said Mead.

Music will be provided by Nickodemus & 2Melo, DJs Tasha Blank and Kellam, Tony and percussionist Jimmy Lopez, organizers said.

Tickets cost $20 in advance and $30 at the door, according to the chocolatier’s EventBrite page.
