GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — If you're still living your best Barbie life after seeing the Barbie movie, Mattel has a pop-up event this weekend that's just for you.
The Barbie truck rolls into the Woodland Mall on Saturday, Aug. 5 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. They'll be posted up near the Cheesecake Factory for merch and photo ops.
The tour began at the 2023 Barbie Doll Collectors Convention this summer, and will be making stops in cities across the country on the heels of the 60th anniversary of Barbie moving into her very first Dreamhouse.
Mattel says every minute, they sell one Barbie Dreamhouse even 60 years after the fact.

In addition to exclusive Barbie Dreamhouse collectibles, organizers are offering up photo ops with the colorful truck backdrop.
Merchandise starts at $12, and items can be purchased via credit card.
For fans that spend more than $40, you get a free gift.
The original Barbie Truck began in Los Angeles in 2019. The Barbie Malibu Truck Tour graced the open road in 2021, and now the Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Living tour will travel to multiple cities this year.
The truck will host two back-to-back stops in the Detroit area - Novi on Aug. 12 and Dearborn on Aug. 13.
