Step into a time capsule with New Zealand's biggest family-friendly 80s/90s event. See iconic movies cars like the DeLorean, or K.I.T.T from Knight Rider! Picture over 150 vendors, selling classic toys and games and straight out of your beloved flicks. From E.T.'s charm to Terminator toughness, there's something for everyone. Dive into the nostalgia with activities that'll make you feel like Indiana Jones. It's not just an event; it's a reel-life experience:

- Arcade machines with classic games
- Cosplay contests
- Food trucks
- Dungeons and dragon games
- Live Wrestling
- Robot wars!
- Epic 80s/90s music
- Live bands
Vendors with tons of retro goodies, think of Atari, Music, PS1, Clothing, Gameboys, Masters of the universe, vintage star wars, G1 Transformers, star trek, Ghostbusters, Aliens, Predator, GI Joe, and more!

Auckland Scifi is a free friendly social group for fans of anything sci-fi, fantasy, super hero or zombie related. We run regular events where you can hang out and argue with other fans about the kind of nerdy stuff that other people just don't understand.

We meet every 2 weeks in the CBD for our SciFriday social night where new members can find out what we’re all about. We also go to the movies, get-together to watch our favourite new and classic TV shows; we run a book club, quiz nights and lots more!

Click here to join up (it’s free!) and to find out what events we have coming up: http://www.meetup.com/aucklandscifi/. (Sorry, over 18s only)
