Step right up to celebrate the 205th birthday of the greatest showman on earth! On Sunday, July 5 from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM the Bethel Historical Society is hosting P.T. Barnum’s 205th birthday party. The celebration will be held on the library’s front lawn, 189 Greenwood Ave., Bethel.

The annual celebration takes place in front of the P.T. Barnum statue created by Bethel artist David Gesualdi. It includes a make/wear-your-own crazy hat contest.
