The future is almost here…again.

October 21, 2015 is Back to the Future Day, the date Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) traveled into the future to in the 1989 film, Back to the Future Part II. In this fictional future, Marty is introduced to hoverboards, flying cars, and self-tying sneakers.

If you’re old enough to remember the film you might still be waiting for hoverboards and the Cubs to win the World Series.

EMP Museum (home of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction) will celebrate this monumental day in the fictitious world of the beloved sci-fi trilogy, Back to the Future. Continue reading BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY At EMP MUSEUM With HOVERBOARDS
