Relive the wonder.

Relive the dazzle, wonder and fun of The 1964 World's Fair,an extraordinary documentary narrated by Judd Hirsch that takes a fresh look at the sights and sounds of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Part futuristic exhibition, part glittery strip mall, the 1964 New York World's Fair was planned amid the optimism of the late 1950s, but the Fair's two-year run often mirrored the chaos of the 1960s.The fair was a brawling, costly and altogether chaotic event, but few of the 52 million people who attended noticed.Acclaimed public television producer Rich Hanley draws on the delightful memories of fairgoers who found a hope for the future, an understanding of other cultures, and a delicious Belgian waffle for just a dollar.

So jump in that old station wagon and take a ride back to the 1964 New York World's Fair!
