President Bill Clinton’s 80th Birthday Celebration

Join us to celebrate President Bill Clinton’s 80th birthday at the Clinton Presidential Center! On Saturday, August 15, you can enjoy FREE museum admission and participate in family-friendly activities.

From his beginnings in Arkansas and throughout his more than 50 years of public service — as Governor of Arkansas, President of the United States, and Founder of the Clinton Foundation — President Clinton has championed the idea that we all do better when we work together.

We hope you’ll join us for this special day as we honor President Clinton’s legacy and celebrate the community that has been part of his journey from the very beginning.
