Calling all Caped Crusaders, Dynamic Duos, Boy, and Girl Wonders! In two weeks’ time, the city’s finest grill masters will wield their super spatulas and wage a heroic battle against the enemies of dry patties as the Beijinger and JSS present Burger Fest 2020, Sep 18-20 on the north end of Wangjing Walk. In order to ward off the evil-doers, however, we need to assemble a team of heroes the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Justice League saved the world from Xotar the Weapons Master. That means it’s time to step into the proverbial phone booth and emerge as your most super self!
While our Early Bird Packages do include a superhero eye mask, it wouldn’t be a superhero party without some serious spandex, capes, and onesies walking about. Just because we’re restricted from using trademarked characters, that doesn’t mean you are too! We did a little Taobao searching and found some of the finest costumes to keep you feeling super all weekend. And remember, when it comes to superheroes and super outfits, the sky is the limit! So don’t be afraid to get creative and dream up your own hero for the day. Bonus points if it’s burger themed!
Classics on the cheap
Want to play the part without breaking the bank? Then this selection of capes and masks is definitely for you. Pick from such iconic characters as Spiderman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. What’s more, if you’re a fan of Spiderman but always felt a purple color palette was more fitting for his personality, then this Taobao shop’s got you covered.
Classics at a cost
If spending a bit more money doesn’t affect your wallet like kryptonite affects Superman, then there’s plenty of full-body options to truly transform you into your favorite comic book character. Wonder Woman runs a reasonable RMB 109, while RMB 120 will deck you out in Superman’s finest (muscles and all). On the other hand, if a superhero-themed burger festival is the culmination of your life’s deepest desires, then RMB 957 will get you what appears to be a pretty high-quality Deadpool costume.
Rock out as a group
Get the whole family involved and dress up as your favorite super ensemble. Our team loves The Incredibles but they’re far from being the family costume option. There’s always Gru, Lucy, and the Minions! After all, what’s better than a supervillain who falls in love and discovers he’s actually the good guy!?
Don’t forget the little guy
Nobody puts baby in the corner! Taobao has a whole selection of the cutest teeny tiny superhero onesies, from the classics like Superman and Spiderman to the more modern ones like Altman. Remember that any child under 1.2 meters tall gets into Burger Fest for free!
The inflatables
If social distancing is what you’re looking for then look no further than the inflatables! For as little as RMB 70 you can turn into your favorite super-sized hero who’s going to be walking around with their personal air conditioning system right in their pocket. How cool!
Not all heroes wear capes
While the conventional route suggests that you should don a cape and a utility belt, not all heroes can be found in the canon of DC and Marvel Comics. In fact, here at beijingkids, we would argue that 2020’s greatest superheroes were the frontline medical professionals who worked tirelessly to stave off the worst for COVID-19 patients. At RMB 88, you can get a doctor costume to honor these brave souls and show your appreciation for all the work they did. If you want to be particularly cheeky about it, then perhaps this plague doctor costume for RMB 465 is more your speed. It may look spooky, but it is in fact what the medical professionals of the time wore.
If your mini hero changes who their favorite superhero is every minute, our Super Package may be your best bet! It includes an exclusive Super Burgerman or Burger logo T-shirt, a JSS tote bag with an RMB 198 JSS delivery card, and a superhero eye mask. Don’t forget that all tykes under 1.2 meters tall are absolutely free!
Super dogs are also welcome to join the celebration! No canine ticket needed.
The perfect package for a superhero who wants more superpowers!
