Thomas Edison's 178th Birthday Celebration
Celebrate Thomas Edison's 178th birthday with us! The annual tradition continues with students from the Edison Park Creative and Expressive Arts School singing, dancing and playing stringed instruments. Cake will be served for visitors attending the party, which is sponsored in part by the Edison Pageant of Light, the organization founded in 1938 to memorialize Thomas Edison and honor his achievements and contributions to Fort Myers.
Guests are invited to gather at the Banyan Café area (behind the Banyan tree), where Mike Flanders, the Edison and Ford Winter Estates President and CEO will give a brief welcome. Students will play stringed instruments and sing "Happy Birthday" to history character, Mr. Edison, and then birthday cake will be served. Following the children's performance, curatorial staff member, Chet Wallace, will play the Calliaphone (organ) on the antique Calliope.
The party is a free public event with limited seating (does not include tours or admission to the museum, laboratory or riverside of the property).
