"Built for about $75,000, the Centurama Amphitheater was the centerpiece of Milwaukee\u2019s centennial celebration at the lakefront in the summer of 1946.

The party continued all year. There were sporting events, including a yacht regatta, a 500-mile midget-car race and a boxing match \u2014 delayed twice, then canceled \u2014 between top welterweights Sugar Ray Robinson and Chuck Hunter. There also was a week-long Cavalcade of Culture \u2014 exhibitions of art and artifacts, classical music and dramatic performances \u2014 held in November.

And there was a parade: a three-and-a-half-hour-long extravaganza on July 14, 1946, from N. 19th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave. to the lakefront, including 76 floats, scores of bands and beauty queens, and a mile-long section of balloons from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."
