To kick off San Pedro’s 125^th Anniversary, The San Pedro Historic Waterfront District is hosting a Living Treasures Dinner & Show to honor and share the stories of some of San Pedro’s oldest residents. In addition to an amazing line up of entertainment, there will be a visual tribute of San Pedro’s most fascinating residents featuring historical photos, trivia and costumes from the early 1900’s.

The Living Treasures Dinner & Show will take place on Friday, March 1, 2013 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Pedro.

A Living Treasure is someone who has spent a majority of his or her years in San Pedro and has lived an extraordinary life. This person has contributed to the community unselfishly or simply has a wonderful story to tell about growing up during the early days of San Pedro.
