Celebrate Shakespeare’s Birthday: Plan a Trip for Next Year
Happy birthday Shakespeare! OK, so there is some debate as to whether or not April 23 is the actual date of Shakespeare’s birth, but it’s the day that cities all over the world hold celebrations in the Bard’s honor.
If you missed out on the festivities this year, start planning your trip for next year. You can go old school (I think Shakespeare would have loved that phrase) and visit Stratford-upon-Avon, where birthday celebrations have been taking place for over 100 years. Enjoy street performers, visit the Shakespeare House, get a history lesson, and much more. Staying in England, you can take part in the fun at The Globe Theatre (Shakespeare’s theatrical home) in London. If you want to stay Stateside, try visiting the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC or check our the parties thrown by Shakespeare Festivals across the country.
