In 1955, the San Diego City Council approved a plan for a month-long celebration to take place in 1956 to celebrate the heritage of California. The now defunct Fiesta del Pacifico was one of several festivals held in various communities in California celebrating the Old Spanish Days of the State. The Festival in San Diego which inspired this composition, was held over 12 days. The Fiesta del Pacifico included weeks of varied activities throughout the city, including parades, pageants, road races, rodeos, and even street parties.
