Happy birthday to the Golden State! On September 9, 2019, the California State Capitol Museum Volunteer Association invites the community to enjoy celebrating California’s 169th birthday, Admission Day, on the north steps of the Capitol Building in Sacramento. California entered the Union on September 9, 1850, becoming the nation’s 31st state, shortly after the advent of the Gold Rush. Guests are invited to commemorate this birthday with cakes decorated with the California State Seal and topped with delicious ice cream.
Guests at the celebration will be inspired with a flag presentation by an Armed Forces color guard, and entertainment will be provided by the renowned musical artists, Trio Triceratops. Capitol Museum volunteers dressed in historic costumes will be in attendance. There is no better way to acknowledge California becoming the nation’s 31st state than with fanfare, authentic 1850s music, and delicious treats, as well as children’s activities.
