California's Admission Day 2018

You’re never too old for a birthday party! Come celebrate California’s birthday with cake and ice cream at California’s State Capitol!

The California State Capitol Museum Volunteer Association once again invites you and your family to celebrate California’s 168th birthday, Admission Day, on the south steps of the Capitol Building with delicious cake decorated with the California State Seal, topped with ice cream donated by Leatherby’s Family Creamery.

Guests at the celebration will be inspired with a flag presentation by an Armed Forces color guard, and entertainment will be provided by Checkered Past, the renowned barbershop quartet. There’s no better way to acknowledge California becoming our 31st state than with fanfare, music and delicious treats, as well as children’s activities! Capitol Museum volunteers dressed in historic costumes will be in attendance.
