Spirit of the Masters pageant vets long history
Fun facts recount the Spirit of the Masters pageant, from its 1933 parade origins and eight day festival publicity stunt to today’s 54 performances. It has only two rainouts in its history, three longtime directors, and a rare standing ovation for Felix de Weldon’s U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial living picture.
