pre-games ceremony & torch relay!

Pre-Game Ceremony
June 20

On June 20^th and 21^st, Chabot Space & Science Center celebrated our milestone 125^th Anniversary kickoff in grand style. Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, members and staff who made it possible. It was truly spectacular. 

We unveiled a historical marker on the site of the original Observatory donated by Anthony Chabot to the City of Oakland in 1883. Guests and dignitaries were greeted by Michael Heymann, former University of California Chancellor and Secretary of The Smithsonian Institution,; Assembly members Loni Hancock and Sandre Swanson, and City Council member Jean Quan and former City Council member Dick Spees. Olympians Marilyn King, Pamela Jiles and Eddie Hart participated in our torch-relay through the streets of Oakland, all the way to our current location.
