Green Street Get Down Celebrates A Tehachapi Tradition
Dance and sing with us at Green Street Get Down, the most exciting music festival around!
The City celebrated the installation of the wonderful electric street lights and power to all homes, by holding a "street dance" on July 31, 1915. To add to the story, even though it said "street dance," the dancers were "stepping out" on the board sidewalk on the corner of Green and F Streets. They could not dance in the unpaved dirt Street. Green Street would not be paved until 1936. It would not be until 1927 when cement sidewalks would be laid in the downtown and nearby residential areas of the city. They would have been seen waltzing or perhaps trying the latest new dance, the "Turkey Trot," a cute, little two step that caught on and made the old folks wonder about the young people and what this world was coming to.
