The event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 25, 2016 (which BttF fanatics know is the 31st anniversary of the fateful day of the world”s first temporal displacement) and will run from 4 p.m. to 1:16 a.m. (the time Marty arrived at Twin Pines Mall to meet Doc).
The organizers are saying more information on the event is yet to come, but in a release sent to press today, they”ve promised celebrity autographs, live “80s music, food trucks, contests, DeLoreans on display, and an outdoor screening of Back to the Future.
