Party Events:
Jake’s Birthday is back , and we couldn’t be more excited.
For the first time since 2019, before COVID changed the world and put our celebration on pause, we are bringing back this beloved Marsh’s Free Museum tradition in a big way. After years away, Jake the Alligator Man is finally getting the birthday bash he deserves, and you are invited.
The celebration begins on Friday, September 25th, with an adults-only Burlesque Show, featuring themed performances, theatrical flair, and Jake-inspired mischief and will continue through the entire month of October with The Haunted Peninsula.
Burlesque Show:
Step into an unforgettable evening of mystery, laughter, and entertainment at Jake & the Case of the Missing Bride, an interactive burlesque murder mystery unlike anything you've experienced before. Enjoy a world-class dinner prepared by B&D's Food Hut, bid on incredible artwork by talented local artists and unique donations from Peninsula businesses during our silent auction, and raise a glass at our open bar. Throughout the night, you'll even have the chance to participate in the show as you help unravel the mystery of Jake's missing bride. Best of all, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Peninsula Poverty Response, helping neighbors in need while you enjoy an unforgettable night of fun. Don't miss one of the most unique events of the year!

History of
Jake's Birthday
Each year the town of Long Beach WA celebrated the birthday of their most unusual native son... Jake The Alligator Man. Jake, who is a resident of the world famous Marsh's Free Museum is known far and wide as the finest Alligator-man to ever crawl upon the shores of Washington.
During his annual birthday celebration, local residents chose a local maiden to become Jake's bride through a talent show. They also held a car show which attracted some of the most amazing custom cars and hot rods in the US.
