The July 28 event is free and will feature an Elaine dance-off, Seinfeld art prints for the first 200 guests and food offerings inspired by the show, according to a press release.

Attendees will also be able to play "frolf" or frisbee-golf, the sport George aspires to learn in the episode "Summer of George," which will be shown during the party. Fans will be able to pick two more episodes that will be screened by voting for them on social media, organizers said.

Hulu will also screen a short documentary about fans of the show, called "They're Real & They're Spectacular: Seinfeld Super Fans and the Summer of George," according to a press release.

The Hunters Point Parks Conservancy, which is partnering with Hulu for the event, said Queens is an appropriate backdrop for the party since the characters Jerry and George hailed from the borough.

"Jerry and George are both from Queens and many of the classic episodes took place in the Costanza household," Conservancy President Rob Basch said in a statement.

"We are excited to host a celebration of this classic series in the home borough where two of its main stars grew up."

The event is part of Hulu's Summer Road Trip series, in which the company screens movies and TV shows at locations across the country.

The Seinfeld party will start at 6:30 p.m. with episodes to play after dark, according to organizers.
