The 1964 World's Fair

An informative documentary, hosted by Judd Hirsch, about the historic events of the 1964 World's Fair. Television producer Rick Hanley highlights the delightful memories of fairgoers who seldom noticed that the fair was a brawling, costly, and chaotic event.

Relive the dazzle, wonder and fun of The 1964 World's Fair. An extraordinary documentary, narrated by Judd Hirsch, that takes a fresh look at the sights and sounds of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Part futuristic exhibition, part glittery strip mall, the 1964 New York World's Fair was planned amid the optimism of the late 1950s, but the Fair's two-year run often mirrored the chaos of the 1960s. The Fair was a brawling, costly and altogether chaotic event, but few of the 52 million people who attended noticed. So jump in that old station wagon and take a ride back to the 1964 New York World's Fair!
