Pasadena Latino Heritage Parade & Festival 2026 — City Hall
Somebody in your family knows the words to a song you only know the tune of. You have been meaning to ask. You keep not asking, and the number of people who could answer keeps getting smaller.
For its twenty-eighth year, Pasadena hands over Los Robles Avenue and the lawn in front of City Hall for an afternoon. The parade steps off at four with local schools, community groups, neighbours and elected officials, and it is unmistakably a hometown parade rather than a produced spectacle — the marching band is from the high school down the street, and half the crowd is waving at somebody they know in it.
The festival opens at five in front of City Hall, which is the part worth staying for. Pasadena's City Hall is a domed Mediterranean building with an open courtyard, and when the sun goes and the music starts it becomes one of the more beautiful places in the county to stand with a plate of food you did not have to queue long for.
Saturday, October 10, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Parade begins at Los Robles Avenue and Buckeye Street; festival at Pasadena City Hall, 100 N Garfield Ave. Free, all ages.
