Get ready to time-travel back to the raddest decade ever! Community Classroom Project’s (CCP) annual Pub at the Hub is returning with an ’80s-themed bash called “Back to Our Future” on Saturday, January 25th. Held at The Hub at Space of Mind, this event will teleport you straight to the ’80s—complete with a DeLorean onsite for photo opps.
The Heavy Pets will perform a rare tribute set to the ‘80s—covering everything from Bowie and Prince to Madonna and Tears for Fears. Between sets, DJ Johnny Quest will keep the golden days of MTV-inspired tracks going. And since there’s no rule against dancing, you’re encouraged to get Footloose and show off your best moves.
The Hub at Space of Mind will be decked out in a neon explosion with Insta-worthy themed rooms, interactive entertainment, an art sale featuring works from both professional and student artists, a mystery auction, and plenty of 80s pop culture and memorabilia!
Top area chefs will be serving up ’80s-inspired bites like mini sausage sammies in tribute to Abe Froman, the “Sausage King of Chicago,” a Dirty Dancing watermelon salad, the “Marty McFLYBIRD” chicken fried rice, slices of Mystic Pizza and a Baby Ruth dessert bar. You can also grab a bag of classic ’80s candies like Nerds, Fun Dip and Pop Rocks to go.
Guaranteed to take you back to the simpler days of Rubik Cubes and Walkmans, this is everyone’s favorite party of the year! Limited to just 250 guests, it’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into the best Sixteen Candles meets Risky Business house party of 1985. Tickets and sponsorships are on sale now!
