Admission Day S.F.
Admission Day was first celebrated in 1850, on October 29, when a ship sailed into the harbor with the news that California had been admitted to the Union on September
9, 1850. I guess after that initial lag, they celebrated on September 9. If you look at the photo in the mega-whopping Original size (surprising that the upload took), you can see that there was some connection between Admission Day and Labor Day. The sign attached to the corner of the building says something about "Seating Available."
I doubt that these "Indians" have anything to do with Buffalo Bill. Again, looking at the Original size, I'm not even sure they are "real" Native-Americans." Wearing outlandish costumes is not unheardof in San Francisco.
