A pop culture celebration is coming to Dallas with a star-studded guest list including many original cast members from the iconic film Back to the Future.

Fan Expo Dallas, coming to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center May 30-June 1, will host a 40th anniversary celebration of Back to the Future featuring appearances by stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Tom Wilson.

They'll be joined by both actresses who portrayed the role of Jennifer Parker: Claudia Wells, who appeared in the original 1985 film, and Elisabeth Shue, who appeared in the two sequels from 1989 and 1990. Other stars appearing include Huey Lewis, James Tolkan (who played Principal Strickland), Donald Fullilove (Goldie Wilson), Harry Waters Jr. (Marvin Berry), and more.

The three-day event allows fans the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with their screen idols. It includes autograph and photo sessions, celebrity panels, sketch duels with comics artists, workshops, cosplayers, and shopping.
