  • 2019 marks the 125th anniversary of the California Midwinter Exposition, commonly known as the Midwinter Fair. Held in Golden Gate Park, the fair featured more than 100 buildings and hosted 2.5 million visitors over six months in 1894.
  • Visitors saw the latest innovations of arts, culture, manufacturing, industry, and agriculture; and heard glorious music!​​​​
