Happy 86th Birthday Golden Gate Bridge (2023)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Happy Birthday to the Golden Gate Bridge!

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge was once called “the bridge that couldn’t be built;” today it is one the wonders of the modern world. This magnificent span, perhaps San Francisco’s most famous landmark, opened May 27, 1937, after a four-year struggle against relentless winds, fog, rock, and treacherous tides. It’s the country’s most iconic bridge that stretches across one of the world’s finest natural harbors.
