Hello McFly: October 21 – National Back to the Future Day!

Flux Capacitors at the Ready: October 21 - National Back to the Future Day!

Get your hoverboards and DeLoreans out of the garage because October 21 isn't just any ordinary day; it's National Back to the Future Day! Why, you ask? Well, because it's the day time travel happened in the iconic film, "Back to the Future." Great Scott, this is heavy!

In Back to the Future 2, Marty McFly and Doc Brown zoom to the future, precisely to October 21, 2015. And while we didn't quite reach that level of technological advancement (we're still waiting for our hoverboards), the day holds a special place in our hearts.

On this date, we celebrate the creative genius that brought us the flux capacitor, the DeLorean time machine, and the wild notion of disrupting the space-time continuum. Sure, we might not have flying cars or Jaws 19 playing in our theaters (thank goodness!), but Back to the Future Day reminds us that we can dream big.

So, what should you do on this glorious day? Revisit the trilogy, admire the fashion trends of both 1985 and 2015 (some of which still haven't quite made it to the mainstream), and ask the question: "If I could travel back in time, what era would I visit?"

Embrace your inner McFly, and make October 21 your personal Back to the Future Day. Whether you're binge-watching the movies, trying to recreate Doc's wild hair, or just reminiscing about the good old days of VHS tapes, this day is all about fun, nostalgia, and a touch of the future that never was. Who knows, maybe someday we'll get those hoverboards, but until then, keep your flux capacitor ready, and remember, the future is what you make of it!
