Buffalo has been throwing a birthday party for Abraham Lincoln since 1874—and you’re invited! The tradition began with local pharmacist Julius Francis, whose idea turned into a celebration that’s lasted more than 150 years. Bring the whole family to enjoy Civil War re-enactors, a booming gun salute, a visit from “Lincoln” himself, and—of course—FREE birthday cake. History has never been this sweet!
Doors open at 11:00. Programming begins at 11:30am.
This event is FREE to the public.
