"De Niro con" will include recreations of iconic film sets, immersive installations, classic film screenings, musical performances, and panel conversations.

And, of course, lots of celebrity appearances, including De Niro himself.

His business partner Jane Rosenthal confirmed the news saying it's hard to know what to get Bob for his 80th birthday.

"He's already got a gold watch, so we decided to celebrate him and his enduring legacy with a fun-filled fan event and pay tribute to his unwavering dedication to his films, art, and the city he loves."

De Niro's birthday is Aug. 17, and the three-day celebration goes from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at New York City's Spring Studios.

The news comes on the heels of him being presented with the key to New York City last week for his work in film and philanthropic support of NYC.
