Star Trek: Picard is launching the 10 Forward: The Experience in March
By Chad Porto
Fans of Star Trek: Picard may want to plan their trip to Los Angeles this march.
Star Trek has been known for creating impressive attractions in the past. There was the Las Vegas-based Star Trek: The Experience, and of course the numerous fan sets that have been designed and popped up. Several statues have been erected in recent years as well which feature various captains. Plus Canada has the city of Vulcan which has completely embraced the name.
Coming in March is a brand new place for fans to ‘Trek’ to, and that is going to be 10 Forward: The Experience, opening up in Los Angeles this March. The event is going to be held in 11 different restaurants across the city. There will be food trucks, themed cocktails, merchandise, and more, and the entire event will last 10 days.
