Smithsonian Resident Associates Program presents
Sesame Street's 40th Birthday Party

The Smithsonian is throwing a birthday bash for America's favorite children's television show—and you're invited! Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Zoe, and Prairie Dawn, along with Muppeteers Kevin Clash, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, and Fran Brill, join Sesame Street executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente and Sonia Manazano ('Maria') to talk about the show's 40 years of fun and learning. They share clips from the first season in 1969 and scenes from new episodes. After the show, meet the Muppets and have your picture taken with them and their Muppeteers!

All Ages

Everyone must have a ticket to enter. Children under 2 are free, but please include them on your ticket order.
