The Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a unique gala on Saturday, March 7, 6-10 p.m. Playing on the popularity of another cultural institution that started in 1975, the evening’s entertainment will play out like an episode of NBC TV’s “Saturday Night Live,” complete with political parodies, quirky news stories, live music and vignettes of days of the past and the not-so-long-ago brought to life.

Doors open at 6 p.m., the show begins at 7 p.m., after a lively cocktail hour. Wolf Creek Restaurant will be catering the event and live and silent auctions of unique items will be held.

“Live From Santa Clarita, It’s Saturday Night” will be held at the Canyon Country Community Center, 18410 Sierra Highway, Santa Clarita, CA 91351.
