Montreal's Expo 67

In 1967, Canada celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding with a spectacular party, and the whole world was invited. Montrealï¿½s Expo 67 was the first worldï¿½s fair held in Canada, and it was a huge success, attracting over 50 million visitors. The 1,000-acre site was built on two man-made islands in the St. Lawrence River and incorporated 90 futuristic pavilions created by some of the worldï¿½s greatest architects and designers. Over 60 countries were represented, along with many private, corporate and thematic pavilions, all brought together under the theme ï¿½Man and his World.ï¿½ With performers and entertainers of all varieties, restaurants, cultural attractions, exhibitions and a world-class amusement park, Expo 67 was literally the party of the century, exceeding all expectations.
