Ahead of Season 3’s arrival on July 4th, we’ve learned that the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California is transforming into Hawkins, Indiana’s very own Fun Fair later this month, with a full-on “Stranger Things” takeover that promises to be an immersive treat for fans.
Detailed by Time Out, the “Stranger Things” Fun Fair runs on both June 29 and 30…
“You’ll enter the pier’s parking deck to find games, a slime-filled dunking booth and dessert from Scoops Ahoy, the ice cream parlor slated to feature in the third season. Other pop-ups include the Demogorgon-filled Curiosity House, the win-a-BMX Hawkins Bike Shop and a bunch of live entertainment: a performance from the Hawkins High School Cheerleaders, ‘80s cover bands, food eating contests, magicians and more. In addition, you’ll find Stranger Things-inspired takeovers of some of Pacific Park’s existing amusements: The landmark Pacific Wheel Ferris Wheel will dress up as the Hawkins Wheel and the Playland Arcade will become Hawkins’ Palace Arcade.”
Coolest of all? Admission is FREE! The event is open both days from 11am-9pm!
