It’s final call for an open bar 90s-themed party at Lakeside Amusement Park featuring unlimited rides.

Summer Scream is Denver Film’s annual fundraiser and the only private, cultural event that takes over Denver’s second-oldest amusement park for the night on Thursday, Aug. 24.

Tickets are still available for $75 (they increase to $85 at the door). The 21+ event will run from 6-11 p.m.

“From Millenials and Gen Zs whose lives took shape during this crazy decade, to anyone who celebrates, this year’s immersive experience is going to be ‘all that and a bag of chips,'” Denver Film CEO Kevin Smith said in a statement.





Following last year’s successful Boardwalk-style stroll through Lakeside’s 115-year history, event producers Andrew Novick and Chris Getzan are tapping into the nostalgia of a 90s-themed immersive experience: a giant Furby, a Tamagotchi photo booth, pogs, a Blockbuster video store, Twin Peaks characters, and music courtesy of DJ Buddy Bravo.

If unlimited drinks and rides weren’t enough, there will also be performances by local comedian Shanel Hughes and Carey Lieber, history courtesy of Lakeside historian and author David Forsyth, burlesque by Gale Force, circus performers, a puppeteer, a magician, fortune tellers and a pro-wrestling match by Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling.

“We’re all looking forward to seeing just what Chris (Getzen) and Andrew (Novick) have in store for us at this year’s Summer Scream,” Smith said.
