The centennial celebration for Frank Sinatra looks as if it will be quite the soiree.

Sinatra, a Hoboken, N.J., native who died in 1998, is being honored at the Hoboken Historical Museum with an exhibition called “Frank Sinatra: The Man, the Voice and the Fans.” Visitors can attend a Sunday with Sinatra performance series on Sept. 6, Oct. 4, Nov. 1 and Dec. 6, and the museum is also co-hosting a concert and birthday party on Dec. 12 at Stevens Institute of Technology, where Sinatra received an honorary doctorate 30 years ago.
