# Panama-Pacific International Exposition

> The 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco celebrated the Panama Canal's completion and showcased technological and cultural achievements of the early 20th century.

## Summary

The Panama–Pacific International Exposition was a world's fair held in San Francisco, California, United States, from February 20 to December 4, 1915. Its stated purpose was to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, but it was widely seen in the city as an opportunity to showcase its recovery from the 1906 earthquake. The fair was constructed on a 636-acre (257-hectare) site along the northern shore, between the Presidio and Fort Mason, now known as the Marina District.
