A popular character from “The Transformers” movie franchise  will be buzzing his way into the Teche Area this Saturday.

A nine-foot-tall Bumblebee will be entertaining kids, and fans of the hit movie franchise as part of exclusive nationwide tour at Walmart stores.

The tour stop locally will take place on Saturday at the Walmart in New Iberia on E. Admiral Doyle Drive from 2 to 4 p.m.

In support of the character’s most recent movie release, a nine-foot-tall Bumblebee will make 10 appearances from Baton Rouge to Lafayette on March 7-10.

Walmart and Hasbro are sponsoring the local interactive events as part of a FREE, family-friendly tour of 1,000 Walmart stores across the U.S. 

Bumblebee will sign autographs and take photos with kids — and one lucky attendee at each store will receive a specially-designed $5 gift card.
