The Harvard Square Business Association, Cambridge Historical Tours and the book stores of Harvard Square welcome you to join us on Saturday, April 26th for the 7th Annual Bookish Ball and Shakespeare’s Birthday Celebration. This free, family friendly festival will feature book store strolls, live music, Shakespearean performances, birthday cake and more!
The festivities kick off at 2pm in historic Winthrop Park with free Shakespeare in the Park performed by members of Cambridge Historical Tours and other talented local thespians! Catch some modern day adaptations, take in a wild sword fight, or spot some roving actors putting on a play-within-a-play, all outdoors – the way Shakespeare intended!
At approximately 2:45, our “house” HONK! band, The Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band will lead a rousing procession to our next destination, John Harvard’s Brew House (33 Dunster Street). Once inside, raise a pint with our actors as they perform some traditional toasts, and revel in Shakespearian sonnets, scenes, tributes and speech. What better way to celebrate the most famous of all playwrights than by hearing him aloud while drinking John Harvard’s beer? The two titans may have known each other well, if history (and wishful thinking) serve us right.
To culminate the day, please join us for complimentary cake and ice cream at 4pm by theOut of Town News Kiosk, and Cambridge Savings Bank ( 1374 Mass. Ave ) before visiting our unique book purveyors in the Square! Harvard Square is proud to be the home to the largest concentration of book stores and printed word shops in the region.
