We're traveling to a galaxy far, far away for a cosmic afternoon of Star Wars Bingo. Fans of all ages are invited to join us at the Lakeland Public Library on Saturday, May 4th from 2 PM to 3:30PM to celebrate Star Wars Day while we play bingo that features some of your favorite characters, locations, and objects from the Star Wars universe.
As players, you will choose an alliance when you receive your bingo cards: Sith or Jedi. The alliance who wins the most rounds will reign supreme in the galaxy.
No registration required.
It's NOT a trap! May the Fourth be with you at the library as we celebrate Star Wars Day. On Saturday May the Fourth from 2-4 pm, jump to light speed to get to the Larry R. Jackson Branch Library for Star Wars-themed activities, treats, crafts, and prizes. Robes, armor, and/or space buns encouraged.
The Star Wars Party is open to padawans, Jedi masters, and Sith lords of all ages, no registration required.

The City of Lakeland has been the inspiration for many artists to express ideas that hold meaning for them. May is the month for celebration of local art and influenced by the Annual Art Show— Mayfaire-By-The-Lake—in affiliation with the Polk Museum of Art.
