Fans of retro television and movies, Netflix, teen sci-fi, cowboys, corndogs, fairs and rodeos will have their bizarrely broad yet specific needs met next month when Stranger Things sets up shop at the Calgary Stampede.

The Hawkins' Fun Fair will come to the Stampede's Midway for the duration of the event, which runs from July 4 to 14. The Stranger Things attraction will include branding on numerous rides throughout the park.

"Come on down to our Fourth of July spectacular," the show's Mayor Kline said in a press release (Calgary's Mayor Nenshi has yet to weigh in). "There will be snacks and delights for everyone, so don't be a stranger — things get started at 5pm on the Fourth of July."

Of course, if you don't live in Calgary or you do but you'd rather stay on your couch, Stranger Things Season 3 hits Netflix on July 4.
