BravoCon is scheduled to make its grand return in 2027. Before the main event, the network has arranged a unique one-day fan celebration in Charleston, South Carolina, offering an exclusive experience for enthusiasts of Bravo's programming. This precursor event will feature a variety of interactive activities and appearances by network personalities, building anticipation for the full-scale convention.

The Bravo Fan Fest Charleston is slated for October 24, taking place in the city renowned as the backdrop for popular series like Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality. Attendees can look forward to engaging with live stage presentations, panel discussions, immersive themed zones, and intimate photo sessions with their favorite Bravo celebrities. In preparation for the festival, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen will record four episodes, including two back-to-back sessions on October 22 and 23. The North Charleston Performing Arts Center will be the central hub for all the festivities.

Although an exact date for BravoCon's return in 2027 was not specified, this scheduling follows the recent pattern of the event, with the most recent BravoCon having taken place in November 2025 in Las Vegas. Andy Cohen delivered this exciting news during NBCUniversal's upfront presentation. While the complete list of attending celebrities has yet to be revealed, fans can anticipate seeing stars from a wide array of Bravo shows, including the Below Deck franchise, various Real Housewives editions (Atlanta, New Jersey, New York City, Orange County, Potomac, Rhode Island, Salt Lake City), Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, and Summer House.

Charleston holds a significant place in the Bravo universe, serving as the primary setting for its "Southern" themed shows. Southern Charm, which first aired over a decade ago in 2014, recently concluded its eleventh season. Its spinoff, Southern Hospitality, focuses on Leva Bonaparte's staff at her establishment, Republic Garden & Lounge, further solidifying Charleston's role in the network's programming.

During Peacock's upfronts programming announcement earlier on Monday, it was disclosed that Madison LeCroy, a prominent figure from Southern Charm, will be headlining a new series for the streaming platform titled Salon Confessionals With Madison LeCroy. The premise of the show involves Madison LeCroy transforming her salon chair into a confidential space where clients, while receiving makeovers, share extraordinary personal stories filled with secrets, betrayals, and unexpected twists.

Tickets for the Bravo Fan Fest Charleston will become available for purchase on June 11 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT. Tickets for the Watch What Happens Live tapings will follow suit, going on sale on June 12 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT. These events promise to deliver memorable experiences for dedicated Bravo fans, offering unique opportunities to connect with their favorite shows and personalities.
