May the 4th, also known as "Star Wars Day," is the day where fans of the franchise annually celebrate the galaxy far, far away. This year in Connecticut several bars and libraries are hosting events to let fans dress up and test their knowledge of the universe.

Even Governor Ned Lamont shared a message celebrating the day on Twitter.

Here are some of the Star Wars-themed events around the state:
