The Event: Blast to the Past"Blast to the Past" was a popular theme park celebration that ran daily during the spring of 1988 and 1989.
The event capitalized on a massive wave of 1950s nostalgia, transforming Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A. into a mid-century celebration.
It featured:
A daily parade packed with classic, big-finned automobiles, roller-skating carhops, and cheerleaders.
The "Main Street Hop," a high-energy street show centering around massive, automated jukeboxes.
Massive public activities, including a giant hula-hoop challenge in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The Musical Act: "The Turtles Live

The Turtles—the famous American rock band best known for their 1967 multi-week chart-topping hit "Happy Together"—were one of the premier headlining acts booked for the spring 1989 lineup.
