Description
On Saturday and Sunday August 8th-9th Playland-Not-At-The-Beach is proud to present historian Jim Smith sharing the history of San Francisco’s seaside amusements before they became Whitney's Playland with our Chutes at the Beach Weekend! Through amazing photographs from a collection owned by Laurie Hollings (artistic designer of Frontier Village and many Hollywood productions), Jim will show the progress of the Chutes from early removal of the sand dunes to putting in foundations, then building the earliest attractions and later transforming them into he rides and shows so many of us remember from the later years.On Saturday, August 8th there will be two shows: at 1:00 and at 3:00 PM. On Sunday there will be just one show, starting at Noon.
In addition to all the amazing history, we’ll be offering actual Playland and Chutes artifacts for sale!
The special events of Chutes at the Beach Weekend are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions.
