Navy Pier will make history this week as it will host its first-ever block party, and they will have a special theme to mark the occasion.

The block party, set to get underway Wednesday afternoon, is the first of two such parties Navy Pier will host this summer, according to a press release.

The 90’s themed summer extravaganza will also take place July 31, and both parties will run from 3 to 9 p.m., officials said.

The event is completely free for attendees, and will take place along the south dock at Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave.

There will be a wide variety of entertainment and activities, from live performances to face paint to 90’s board games.

From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., live music will be played in the beer garden, according to the press release.

Party-goers who need their 90’s fix can head to the Wave Wall Stage between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. for 90’s themed hip-hop dance performances and workshops, where 90’s DJ sets will be played as well. If that’s still not enough, there will be 90’s beat-making, video games and freestyle sessions along the south dock.

At the entrance of the event, The Chicago Fire Department will have a dive tank and a fast boat water display. Attendees will also be greeted with a bouncy house and a booth showcasing 90’s airbrush t-shirts.
