About the Event
Step into a time machine and join us for a night that’s all that—and more. On Friday, June 6 at 6 PM, we’re kicking off the opening of our Totally Awesome! exhibit with a celebration that brings the bold energy of the 1980s and 1990s roaring back to life. Whether you grew up blasting cassettes in your Walkman or battling bosses on your favorite arcade machine, this event is your chance to relive it all. From iconic motorsport legends and era-defining video games, to the unforgettable fashion, music, and pop culture that shaped a generation—the night is packed with throwback fun.
We invite you to dress up in your best 80s or 90s attire—acid-washed denim, neon windbreakers, tracksuits, graphic tees, scrunchies, bandanas, the works! (Totally optional, but seriously encouraged.) Come celebrate the most dynamic decades in automotive history, surrounded by the culture that made them legendary. Bring your friends, bring your memories—and get ready to party like it’s 1989.
Food, alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. Valid I.D. is required for alcohol.
