Besides the festival-like stages outside, the ‘I Love The 90’s’ tour incorporates other elements of the decade throughout the venues. Holograms of music videos and television clips from the 90s are displayed on large screens between performances to maintain the 90s theme. Tour sponsors also offer such entertaining and free gimmicks as fanny packs, scrunchies, temporary tattoo sleeves, neon sunglasses, and other 90s knick-knacks to the public. To enhance the rebellious theme, vendors provide such confectionery as ring pops, push pops, Warheads candy, and Orbitz soft drinks.
The festival attracts ninety kids now in their thirties and forties who want to dance to their favorite upbeat 90’s music which is performed by their favorite singers live. Some people come with their school-going children and the young ones also enjoy the songs that their parents used to dance to when they were young. Extended families would love sharing nostalgic musical experiences with their children by twerking while clad in staple 90’s clothes some of which include big t-shirts, overalls, windbreakers, jelly shoes, fanny packs, and acid wash jeans.
Aside from reminding fans of some of the most playful and creative fashion statements of the 90s, the concert tour brings fans back to the golden age before social networks.

The ‘I Love The 90’s’ tour is an opportunity to free oneself from computers and TV screens and get closer through shared passions – music and people. The people in attendance feel like they are there singing songs such as No Scrubs, Waterfalls, Baby Got Back and Jump Around.
In addition to dancing to the best hit songs of the nineties, fans also listen to lesser-known facts, watch moments in pop culture history, and remember artists of the 90s who have passed through in tributes. Cedars gets teary while listening to Whitney Houston and Selena's songs. During performances, the crowd also feasts on montages of 90’s rappers including Tupac and Notorious B. I. G. Thus, even if a person did not have the chance to witness these legends perform in the decade, the tour can give one the feel of their musical abilities.

The ‘I Love The 90’s’ concert tour gives the audience a chance to go back to a decade of simplicity through artists, apparel, environments, music, and foods of a revolutionary decade.
