Bravo fans can officially start planning their October travel because the first wave of Bravolebrities attending Bravo Fan Fest 2026 has been announced.

The one-day event heads to Charleston, South Carolina, on October 24, bringing together stars from some of the network’s biggest franchises. From “The Real Housewives” universe to “Southern Charm,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Summer House,” and the “Below Deck” franchise, the lineup is already packed with familiar faces.

Among the first names confirmed are Austen Kroll, Craig Conover, Madison LeCroy, Leva Bonaparte and Patricia Altschul from Charleston’s own Bravo family. Fans will also get the chance to see Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Porsha Williams, Bronwyn Newport and Chanel Ayan.

Representing the seas are Captain Sandy Yawn and Captain Kerry Titheradge, while “Summer House” fans can look forward to seeing Charley Manley and Molly O’Connell.

Charleston Will Be the Center of the Bravo Universe This October

Bravo Fan Fest 2026 will take place at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, transforming the city into a destination for Bravo superfans.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, but the festivities begin even earlier. Andy Cohen will tape multiple episodes of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” during the days leading up to Fan Fest.

Two back-to-back tapings are planned for Thursday, October 22, and Friday, October 23, giving fans even more opportunities to see Bravo stars up close.

The currently announced guest list includes:

Austen Kroll
Bronwyn Newport
Chanel Ayan
Charley Manley
Craig Conover
Dolores Catania
Captain Kerry Titheradge
Leva Bonaparte
Madison LeCroy
Melissa Gorga
Molly O’Connell
Patricia Altschul

Captain Sandy Yawn

And if Bravo history has taught us anything, there are almost certainly more names on the way.

More Bravo Fan Fest Announcements Are Expected

Bravo has already teased that additional Bravolebrities will be announced in the months leading up to the event, meaning this guest list is only the beginning.

With stars from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” “The Real Housewives of New York City,” “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” “Southern Charm,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Summer House,” and the “Below Deck” franchise expected to be represented, fans are eagerly waiting to see who gets added next.
