Shakespeare was born on April 23rd 1564 and died on April 23rd 1616. Every year, Stratford upon Avon celebrates the bard on the Saturday nearest his birthday with a procession through the town of dignitaries, schoolchildren, musicians and various other organisations and groups. They are often in costume and carry banners and flowers.
