Highlights from DIVA: Golden Gate Bridge (Part 1)

Last weekend marked the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. The iconic landmark spans 1.7 miles from the San Francisco peninsula to the Marin headlands. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy sponsored the Golden Gate Festival on Sunday. The festival featured entertainment and events on the San Francisco waterfront and at community organizations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
