To celebrate Shakespeare's Birthday, the Folger invites the public to a grand "Open House" on the Sunday closest to April 23rd from noon to 4PM. The doors are open to all and the street is closed to make room for a Renaissance Faire with plays, dancers, jugglers, and crafts of all kinds!
Docents, wear a Folger t-shirt and your badge! Elizabethan costumes are encouraged as well. There are many docent-led activities from which to choose.
The following outlines provide location information.
The finale begins at 3:45 with a grand entrance of Queen Elizabeth I and Lord Burleigh. Following the Queen's proclamation there is singing and cake for all.
Thank you all for celebrating with us!
