Santa Monica Pier says…

As part of an ongoing centennial celebration, the Santa Monica Pier recalls its history as an early 20th-century entertainment destination, reviving the carnie spirit via street musicians, big-top artistes, and other specialty acts. In the largest assembly to hit the wharf before the solar-powered Ferris wheel, the Sideshow at the Pier honors the legacy of American popular entertainment through dance, theater, and more, spotlighting the landmark's cultural heritage with an eye toward another 100 years of fun in the sun.
