Poster for the Centennial Exhibition held 20 March-16 May 1936 at Centennial Hall, Wayville. Artwork by Albert V. Adlam. In 1936 South Australia celebrated 100 years since the foundation of the state as a British colony, producing histories, plays and exhibitions to mark the achievements of the century. The state government sponsored four official centenary celebration functions, which were: Heritage, a theatre pageant production; Colonel Light the Founder, by Max Afford; The Landing at Glenelg and the Proclamation and The Pageant of Progress. Events in Adelaide included a Children's Empire Pageant and Floral Pageant. The grand finale of the year's celebrations was the Pageant of Progress, held in December. |
