The Sesquicentennial Expo
John Wanamaker, who had helped plan the Centennial Expo, conceived of the idea for the worldâs fair in 1916. At that time, Philadelphia had gained a reputation for political corruption and Wanamaker believed that a worldâs fair could help improve how people saw the city.
One of the main attractions at the fair was an 80-foot replica of the Liberty Bell covered with 26,000 light bulbs. The expo also included Sesquicentennial Stadium, which hosted sporting events, religious ceremonies, and the Freedom patriotic pageant. Among the most famous events held there was a boxing match between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey that attracted a crowd of 125,000 people.
