CityStream Splashback: Next 50 Celebration Civic Engagement As the World`s Fair anniversary celebration wraps up, we`ll take a look back at civic activities early on and how you can get involved in your community.

ABOUT The Next 50 AT THE SEATTLE CHANNEL

The Next 50, six months of events and activities from April to October 2012, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair at Seattle Center, the legacy it left to the region and the opportunities ahead during the next 50 years. 

At Seattle Channel, we’re pleased to capture some of today’s events and to share several rare, vintage Century 21 Exposition films and television programs from the Museum of History & Industry’s collection as part of our History In Motion series.
