Today would have been Diego Rivera’s 129th birthday, and it’s also the 75th anniversary of the second time that Rivera and Frida Kahlo got married. Their second marriage ceremony was held in San Francisco, and to celebrate, the city will be offering copies of the marriage certificate signed by the couple from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for just $15. The certificate comes on colorful paper and will have an embossed seal with today’s date, according to Fun Cheap SF. Granted, this is probably just a ploy for City Hall to make money, but I’m not mad at it.
If that’s not your thing, there’s also a tour of Rivera’s Pan American Unity Mural from 3 to 4 p.m. This is free, but it’s only limited to 50 people. Fun Cheap suggests getting there by at least 2:45 p.m.
And if you dress up as either Kahlo or Rivera, you’ll get a Fiestas Fridas poster made by Heather Calderon.
