On this date, April 28, 1967, Expo ‘67 opened in Montreal, Canada and lasted until October 29, 1967. It is considered to be the most successful World’s Fair of the 20th century, with over 50 million visitors and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world’s fair with 569,000 visitors on its third day. To this day, many Canadians from that time still regard it as one of the country’s finest cultural achievements.
