San Diego’s Women’s History Museum isn’t interested in gathering dust. It would rather help history come alive, and it’ll do so starting at 4 pm on August 29 with the second annual Suffrage Parade. Don your best 1930s garb and meet at the Kate Sessions statue in Balboa Park (near the southwest corner of the intersection between Laurel and Sixth avenues). From there, the parade—with grand marshals Congresswoman Susan Davis, Judy “The Beauty” Forman from The Big Kitchen restaurant and women’s rights activist Gracia Molina de Pick—will proceed across the Cabrillo Bridge to the Balboa Park Club lawn for a lemonade social. From 6 to 9 p.m., there’ll be a Suffrage Ball inside the Balboa Park Club, featuring music from the ’30s performed by the Sue Palmer Orchestra and Jimmy Woodard of the Swinging Kings, dinner, a dance marathon, a costume contest and more.
Admission: Parade is FREE; tickets to the ball are $30 for a single ticket or $25 each for two people.
