Ramona Pageant 100th Anniversary
This month the Ramona Pageant is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It is a significant event for San Juan Capistrano as well. Helen Hunt Jackson spent time living at the Mission while researching “Ramona”. In a book written before “Ramona”, “Glimpses of California”, Jackson refers to going around the Mission grounds in 1883. The exhibit is in the windows of the Silvas Adobe and gives us a glimpse of life a century and more ago. This year the pageant runs until May 6.
