90s House Party for Shop the City

Overview

Time might feel like it's speeding up these days, but come Wednesday, May 1, you can really turn back the clock at Melbourne Central's mammoth 90s 'house party'. This year's Shop the City retail event will see the centre transformed into an oasis of old-school cool, complete with entertainment, nostalgic DJ tunes, activities and a raft of food and drink freebies.

A Levi's pop-up will help you infuse that wardrobe with a touch of retro, offering free customisation on old and new Levi's denim, with a wild range of badges, embroidery and patches. Meanwhile, you can hit the Powder Room by MAC Cosmetics from 3–9pm for a free, 90s-inspired makeover, and a Claw Machine will be brimming with both vintage prizes and discount vouchers.

From 5pm, B. Lucky & Sons will have refreshments sorted, slinging complimentary cocktails, along with free party snacks from Nando's, Grill'd and Pazzi Pizza.

And, to wrap up a big day of retro-inspired retail therapy, Hoyts is set to host a free late-night screening of cult flick 10 Things I Hate About You at 9.30pm, doling out complimentary popcorn and choc-tops, too.

The 90s House Party will run from 10am.
