As our city gathers to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, you’re invited to an unforgettable evening where history doesn’t just live on the page—it comes alive. This year’s Rosenbacchanal will unfold through riveting performances, evocative theatrical vignettes, and sumptuous musical moments inspired by the bold, brilliant voices found in the Rosenbach’s collection—voices that helped shape the American story.

This is not just a celebration—it’s a living tribute to the authors, thinkers, and visionaries who defined our national identity and a powerful statement of support for the Rosenbach’s mission to preserve, illuminate, and share the stories that inspire us.
