The Washington's Birthday Celebration, founded in 1898, is the largest Celebration of its kind in the United States. The month-long celebration includes parades, a carnival, an air show, fireworks, live concerts and many other fun and exciting events for every member of the family. Combined, WBCA events attract nearly 500,000 residents and visitors, and yearly contributes an estimated $14 million to the local economy.
The Washington's Birthday Celebration is ranked as one of the Top 100 Events in North America for 2011 by the American Bus Association (ABA) because of the excellent entertainment value it offers to both tour groups and individual travelers from around the world. ABA's 2011 Top 100 Events Selection Committee selected the Washington's Birthday Celebration from among a record number of more than 650 event nominations submitted by ABA members.
The 114th Washington's Birthday Celebration will take place this year from January 20 through February 20, 2011.
