DeLorean ‘time machines’ swarm LA home for ‘Back to the Future’ fan fest

Fans of the beloved 1985 classic “Back to the Future” traveled back in time October 24, gathering outside the iconic home of Marty McFly for a celebration filled with DeLoreans, movie memorabilia and a special appearance by one of the film’s original stars.

The “Back to the McFly House Party Fan Meet Up” took place at the real-life house used as the McFly family home in the blockbuster film starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.

Located at 9303 Roslyndale Avenue in Arleta, the San Fernando Valley residence served as the exterior of Marty’s home in the fictional Lyon Estates neighborhood of Hill Valley.

The event brought together fans for an afternoon of music, food, photo opportunities and cosplay, with attendees celebrating the movie that helped turn an ordinary suburban house into a recognizable piece of Hollywood history.

A collection of DeLoreans, the stainless-steel sports cars made famous as Doc Brown’s time machine, added to the nostalgic atmosphere. Vehicles from the DeLorean Owners Association were featured at the gathering, giving fans a chance to admire the cars that became synonymous with the franchise.

Adding to the excitement was special guest Claudia Wells, who portrayed Marty McFly’s girlfriend Jennifer Parker in the original film.

Wells met with fans, posed for photos and signed autographs during the afternoon celebration.

The gathering offered fans an opportunity to revisit a filming location from the movie that became the highest-grossing domestic release of 1985.

More than four decades after Marty McFly first climbed into Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean, the film continues to attract devoted fans.

And for those who made the pilgrimage to Arleta, the future was looking a lot like 1985.
