On March 26, the Tennessee Williams Museum hosts the Tennessee Williams Key West Birthday Party, celebrating what would be the legendary playwright’s 115th birthday. Not only does this much-loved annual gathering wrap up a month-long festival dedicated to Williams’ life and artistic legacy, but it also brings the community together in a meaningful way. Best of all, the event is free and open to everyone, and it runs from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in a relaxed, welcoming setting for both locals and visitors.
