STAY! We are turning 8! Join us to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the Stray Kids Fandom, STAY. We’re gathering at Riverside Park on August 1st in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a Stray Kids celebration unlike any GR has every seen!

You’re not going to want to miss the chance to:

  • Connect with fellow STAY.

  • Immerse yourself in the Celebration with our Anniversary Merch Tiers.

  • Participate in Stray Kids centered activities like our our Paper Airplane Love Notes. Write a message to Stray Kids and “toss them back” during our photo ops sessions. At the end of the day, we’re collecting the airplanes and sending them to Seoul as Fan Mail to Stray Kids. Must be present to participate.

  • JJam to Stray Kids BGM all day played by our very own DJ Page

  • CRAFTS! Create your own SKZ inspired Bag Charm or decorate a Top Loader.

  • Grab a snack at the food truck.

  • Participate in our group photo ops with Stay Pose, 0801 Flower Pose, K-Pop Hearts Pose, Paper Airplane Love Notes toss, and more.

  • Shop til you drop with our amazing vendors of fan-made merch.

Let’s Talk About Merch!

For the first time ever, Joy Labs is joining forces with Little Peach & Pen Co, Blazing Star, and several local artists to bring you a phenomenal Stray Kids Anniversary Merch Experience.

When you click the button to purchase your tickets, you will be whisked away to none other than the famous Little Peach K-Pop Shop.

Once there, browse your options from our Glimmer Tier which is a little burst of Joy giving you the option to get some merch but not break the bank, all the way to our Ultra Ita Bag Fandom Experience Tier which includes everything, and I mean everything, you need to showcase your love of Stray Kids and STAY on our 8th Anniversary. Find details for every merch tier in the shop!

When you purchase a merch tier, you’re not just getting amazing items — you’re helping fund future fandom events, supporting local artists, and helping to expand the K-Pop community in West Michigan.

Joy Labs is built by fans, for fans. Thank you for helping us grow this little community into something magical.
