1968 - Workers Prepare for Marine Day

1968

Workers adjust cables atop a streetlight for the Marine Day program. Marine Day was an annual event held at Burbank's Golden Mall in the late 60s and early 70s. Each year, several hundred Marines from Camp Pendleton were invited to a public celebration at the Mall. The event was followed by a trip to Disneyland in which the Marines were accompanied by teen hostesses from local high schools. This photo was taken at the first Marine Day, held March 23, 1968. Signs for Pep Boys, Florsheim Shoes, and “Dr. Darling, Dentist” appear in the background.
