| Capitola held an annual "Gay Nineties Day Parade" from the time the city incorporation effort began in 1948 until the Begonia Festival took over as the city's favorite event in 1955. Andy Antonetti's merry-go-round, next to the Bandstand on the Esplanade, pleased youngsters every summer from 1955 until the beach disappeared after construction of the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor in 1964. |
