Star Wars Day Celebrated Globally With New Events

Star Wars Day, celebrated worldwide on May 4th, brings fans together through themed events, museum exhibits, and community gatherings across various cities, including Indianapolis, Modesto, and Chicago. These celebrations feature costume contests, trivia nights, dance parties, and special exhibits, such as Star Wars artifacts at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and murals in Modesto honoring George Lucas. Libraries, museums, and local businesses organize activities like crafts, screenings, and cosplay for all ages. Charity groups, notably the 501st Legion, participate with fundraising and community events. This year's festivities coincide with the release of new Star Wars content, including Disney+'s 'Tales of the Underworld' and collaborations like Rocket League's Star Wars crossover. Private collections, such as Kansas City's 'Sithsonian' museum, further highlight the franchise's lasting cultural impact.
