In Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly sets his dial to the year 2015. October 21, 2015 — to be exact. Boundary Bay Brewery and Pickford Film Center are joining forces to throw a Back to the Future Block Party to celebrate the official Back to the Future day in a BIG way – with special brews, live music, food trucks, trivia, costume contests, prizes and giveaways. With two screenings of this righteous flashback movie, a perfect follow up from PFC’s summer Rooftop Cinema smash hit screening of Back to the Future in July, it’s the perfect excuse to put on your best 80’s clothing and come take part in this once in a lifetime worldwide celebration. Come help us bring Bellingham back up to 88!
The excitement for this block party expands beyond Bellingham. This event has caught the eye of the social media site Facebook, who will be sending out an editorial and video team to cover the event.
All of the proceeds from the evening’s beer and ticket sales will be donated to Kuntz and Company’s Class: Dance for People with PD and Other Neurological Disorders’ a local charity offering free and pay-what-you-can dance classes to people of all ages with Parkinsons and other disorders.
The Block Party — on the 1300 block of Bay St from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. — is free to the public attend. The beer garden will be 21+ and family friendly. Don’t miss the Delorean on site, keep your eye out for the raffle rovers for your chance to win a Goldfinger Card (free movies for you and a friend for a year!) and be sure check out the stage for a rotating lineup of entertainment featuring comedians, live music and more – all hosted by the inimitable PhDJ. To round out the style of the evening, Toni and & Guy will be giving 80’s haircuts in the lobby!
The movie, rated PG, will be screening inside Pickford Film Center on the big screen at two times: 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. — tickets are on sale now: http://bit.ly/1dXvEZy.
