The California Midwinter International Exposition took place in Golden Gate Park in 1894, drew over two million visitors. Called “California Midwinter International Exposition,” a name that emphasized the state’s salubrious climate, so mild that a mostly outdoor fair could open while East Coast cities hunkered under January sleet and snow. The exposition opened on January 27, 1894 (outsidelands.org).
