The night of August 14, 1945 saw over 10,000 people crowd downtown Baltimore, Liberty, Centre, and Mechanic Streets in celebration of Japan's surrender which marked the end of World War II. The celebration, which consisted of parades, flag-waving, church bells, horns, whistles, laughter, tears, horse-play, dancing, kissing, and what one would normally expect of an event of this type lasted from early evening until 3:00 am in the morning. No drunken arrests or vandalism were reported during the V-J event.
