Balboa Park Centennial Informal Gathering
An independent gathering of many diverse friends of history and the park, supporters of the park's future, and fun seekers.
Several different local groups of period costumers will gather in varied venues in the park for group picnics and social meetings in circa 1915 clothing, strolling about the park. Period bike owners will occupy the public spaces of Plaza de Panama and Plaza de California, posing for pictures, wearing period clothing, and answering questions.
Historical re-enactors in period garb will match in the Cabrillo Bridge-Prado-Organ Pavilion areas supporting the Woman's Right to Vote -- a hot issue in 1915. These will be volunteers from the Women's Museum of California.
Trained docents from the Balboa Park Heritage Association volunteers will offer free one-hour walking tours of the 1915 core of the park.
