MONTEREY – This weekend – almost exactly 173 years after California's first constitution was completed and signed in Monterey – the city is bringing back an annual testament to the landmark accomplishment not held since 2019. On Sunday, Monterey's Museums and Cultural Arts Division is hosting a live reenactment of the 1849 California Constitutional Convention at Colton Hall from 2-4 p.m. Though usually held as part of the city's yearly History Fest, which is not returning this year, the convention reenactment is resuming as a standalone event.
