This year, Edison and Ford Winter Estates is celebrating Thomas Edison’s 174th birthday virtually! As part of the celebration, students from the Edison Park Creative and Expressive Arts School will sing, dance and play stringed instruments as they usually do, but this year, they will perform at their school and a recording will be shown on Facebook for all Thomas Edison fans. The virtual party will start at 10 a.m. and additional videos will be launched throughout the day. Friends will be able to watch the videos at their convenience. Follow Edison and Ford Winter Estates @EdisonFordFL.

The birthday party is sponsored in part by the Edison Festival of Light, the organization founded in 1938 to memorialize Thomas Edison.
