Scope and content
An enormous crowd of 30,000 has turned out to watch the water races and entertainment at the Golden Jubilee Water Carnival, held July 16, 1939 at Point Defiance. They line every available inch of dock and window space at the Point Defiance Pavilion. Large yachts and smaller crafts have also docked to enjoy the show. This was the kick off event for Golden Jubilee, the celebration of Washington State's 50th anniversary of statehood.
