Weekend Things To Do in Pasadena 4/23-24

Weekend Things To Do in Pasadena 4/23-24

It’s not too crazy to say there could be 365 things to do in Pasadena each week!  For this weekend here are just a handful which I personally recommend. Personally, because for one thing I happen know, or have met, some of the good people behind all these events, and well, I just like these particular ”things to do” in Pasadena this weekend! I think most of you, to say the least, will love them also! And secondly, because I try to select only events which are FREE or very low cost.
