If you’re looking to satisfy your Blues Brothers fix, look no further. Starting tonight at Liberty Lands, Awesome Fest — an organization dedicated to screening movies of the highest caliber at unconventional venues — will present “The Awesome 80s on the Awesome Screen!”, which is exactly what it sounds like. With one crowd-pleasing hit from each year of the glamorous decade, Awesome 80s will put a little more blues-playin’, ghost-bustin’, jungle-alien-fightin’ flicks into your summer. Each screening is BYOB, but we suggest leaving the parachute pants and hair gel at home.

Below is the Awesome 80s schedule. Each movie begins at sundown.

June 28 – The Blues Brothers (1980, 133 min.)
July 5 – Stripes (1981, 106 min.)
July 12 – The Road Warrior (1982, 95 min.)
July 19 – National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983, 89 min.)
July 26 – Ghostbusters (1984, 105 min.)
