Pasadena City Hall Courtyard

What an amazing venue! Gloria and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful at the Pasadena City Hall. Although I had to obtain a number of permits (Police, Permit Center, the City, Health Department, and Fire Department), I found that everyone was very nice and helpful in every step. If you want to hold the event here, you should plan ahead and visually your event before you head out to obtain your permits.

Old Town Pasadena

Historic Old Town Pasadena California is located just minutes from downtown Los Angeles in the beautiful San Gabriel Valley. Bordered by Marengo Ave. on the East and Pasadena Avenue on the West, Old Pasadena stretches from Holly Street on the North to Green Street on the South. Shown below in a photo circa 1928 and to the left as it appears today, is Colorado Boulevard. Better known as the street on which the major portion of the annual Rose Parade takes place, Colorado Boulevard has become the main strip of Old Pasadena and is packed with pedestrians and vehicles nightly. A mecca of entertainment, dining and shopping, Old Pasadena and bordering areas including South Lake Avenue have become increasingly popular as tourist attractions and night spots. As seen here, Old Pasadena looks very much as it did seventy years ago. Many of the historic buildings have been restored and the street-front shops maintain their appeal to the hundreds who stroll the sidewalks each day. Old Pasadena abounds with night clubs, bars, over 50 restaurants serving all types of cuisine and countless specialty shops offering such items as clothing, antiques, furniture and exotic items from around the world. Weekly, one can find all genres of live music from rock, jazz and blues to classical plus dancing, comedy, and billiards. With something for everyone, it's easy to see why Old Pasadena is one of the hottest areas in Southern California. See The Old Pasadena Book
