Celebrating 100 years, the Santa Monica Pier has endured time, nature, and politics in becoming world-renowned as a symbol of the California lifestyle.  Famous bodybuilders such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Gold (of Gold’s Gym) worked out in the famous ‘muscle beach’ and helped shape (pun intended) and establish the health and fitness boom for which California is famous.

These and other facts, that time has forgotten, will be on display and be part of the first museum to display historical information on the art, culture, and history of Santa Monica at the Santa Monica Historical Society Museum – opening late 2009.

Although the Santa Monica Pier’s Centennial Celebration will take place on September 9, 2009, there is a also a year-long calendar of free and low cost vacation and travel activities available for Summer travelers. 

Centennial Highlights:

• Santa Monica Society Museum – opening late 2009

• Museum of Flying – opening Fall 2009

• Cirque Du Soleil KOOZA – opens October 16, 2009

• First large-scale Santa Monica Fireworks display in 18 years – September 9, 2009
