Ripley's 65th Birthday Bash

On December 12, 2015, Ripliey's Believe It or Not! St. Augustine and Ripley's Red Train Tours invite the public to celebrate 65 years of Ripley's in St. Augustine.

Live musical performances by The Badpiper, the world's only flame-throwing punk rock bagpiper, paired with Amora Fire, a fire-eating belly dancer, will ignite the flames of the evening's festivities. Additional entertainment will take the form of Ripley's first ever "Peculiar People Pageant." Pageant contestants will show off their extraordinary talents for a chance to win cash and prizes.

What would a birthday party be without cake, confetti, and the singing of "Happy Birthday"? Guests can enjoy all three at 4 p.m. The public are invited to both the pageant and the party free of charge. After the party and the pageant, Ripley's will kick off its winter carnival and Nights of Lights tours. The carnival will be open to guests who are participating in the Nights of Lights train tours that evening.

Admission: Party and pageant are FREE.
