Centennial Celebration

Santa Monica Pier, 200 Santa Monica Pier, CA
Santa Monica Pier celebrated her 100th birthday in style. Ever since the first time I felt Santa Monica’s breeze on my face, I have been captivated by her beauty. I knew I was going to live there for some time; today many years later, I’m still here and happy. There aren’t enough words to describe the peacefulness that she provides, but I can write about her grand celebration. The day of her birthday started with a blessing at 7:00 am by a Priest, Rabbi and Mullah. Later that evening was the big party. People danced on the sand, pier and in bars nearby. I walked around and got a buzz from just looking at people’s faces. The crowd and I waited for the big show: fireworks. The city had planned an unforgettable fireworks display for everyone. Finally, the performance began and it was truly astonishing. The fireworks lasted for at least half an hour and all night long, people kept dancing and smiling. Unfortunately, the night ended and I went home, however, I am a fortunate individual who witnessed this amazing centennial celebration. Hail to the Santa Monica Pier!
