Official souvenir program for the Golden Gate Bridge Fiesta, a week-long celebration for the opening of California’s Golden Gate Bridge, then the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, which links San Francisco to Marin County. The celebration took place in San Francisco from May 27 to June 2, 1937, and featured a nightly pageant at Crissy Field, fireworks, parades, and entertainment. The program, 48 pages, 7.5 x 10.5, includes the week-long schedule of events, bridge toll rates, general rules, as well as the traffic rules for the new bridge. It also included a proclamation from San Francisco Mayor Angelo Rossi, photographs of the bridge engineers, and various facts about the span. During the festivities, many area schools were closed, and businesses were either closed or reduced to minimum staff so employees could join the festivities. In fine condition.
