The historical pageant, La Fiesta de la Rancho San Jose, at the Los Angeles County Fair celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the first Spanish settlers, Don Ygnacio Palomares and Don Arcardo Vejar to the Pomona Valley.
Different photographs of the parade taken on the same occasion appear with the article, “County Fair Fiesta Recalls Settling of Pomona Valley,” Los Angeles Times, 21 Sept. 1936: 1, 7, 20.
A horse-drawn parade float features California's first mission in San Diego. The side facing the grandstand reads, "San Diego, Where 'Heaven on Earth' Began, America's Natural Air-Conditioned Area" and "1769 California's first mission". A mission building replica has an arch with, "The Arrival of the San Antonio 1770" written above it. People dressed as a missionary and an angel ride the float.
