Shakespeare Day

Shakespeare Day is April 23rd

Shakespeare Day celebrates one of the greatest and most famous playwrights and poets of all time, William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is still very connected to British culture, so his plays are widely performed across Great Britain. On this day special performances of his plays are held and a procession is led to his gravesite in Warwickshire, England, where people often leave flowers and cards.

If you are not in England, you can celebrate Shakespeare Day by going to the library and reading some of Shakespeare's work, or watch a play or play turned movie, by Shakespeare.
