Spread good will and friendship with the Funny Farm Laughter Club, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, to celebrate World Laughter Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 1. The event at the Perfect Christmas Tree Farm helps build a global consciousness of world peace, brotherhood and community. World Laughter Day was created in 1998 by Madan Kataria, M.D., founder of the modern Laughter Yoga movement. Today, events are held all over the world.

Laughter transcends status class, age, race and culture, no matter where we live in the world. Participants can express their emotions at the Gibberish Party with laughter professionals from around the tri-state area; dance to live music by Keith Kenny; do kirtan laughter, power-posing and get a hug from Mother Nature. Dr. Duck, balloon artist extraordinaire, will be there and Eyes of the Wild is bringing a traveling zoo.

Admission is free; $6 parking benefits local nonprofit. Location: 999 U.S. Hwy. 22, Phillipsburg, NJ. For more information, call 908-387-1225.
