Hawkins, Indiana, may not be a real place, but Netflix is bringing it to fans nonetheless.

With "Stranger Things" returning in early July, Netflix is hosting a big pre-Season 3 event. The streamer has plans to turn the Santa Monica Pier deck parking lot into Hawkins on June 29 and 30, the Los Angeles Times reports. Fans will be able to take part in a "Stranger Things" beach experience, visit the Hawkins Bike Shop, enjoy a "Fun Fair" with themed music, food, and games, and more.

The official Season 3 trailer offers glimpses of Hawkins' carnival, so it's a fitting treat for fans. The pier's Pacific Wheel will even temporarily be turned into the Hawkins Wheel. Netflix teased "in-show elements," and we can only imagine what those might be.

Of course, a lot of fans won't be able to get to Santa Monica, California, to enjoy the "Stranger Things" event. If that's you, don't worry, because the show's premiere date is coming up fast. Season 3 hits Netflix on July 4.
