A party 115 years in the making took place on Sept. 6, as the iconic Santa Monica Pier welcomed thousands of visitors for the locale’s 115th Birthday Celebration. The Pier, which opened on September 9, 1909, has thrived over the past century-plus as the entertainment and culture hub of Santa Monica. Along with a special movie screening of "Barbie," the pink theme continued with musical performances for the crowd. Pier goers also enjoyed activities like the new Snackville complex outside of Pacific Park, taking flight at the Santa Monica Trapeze School, and trying their hand at games within Playland Arcade.
