34th Occasional Pasadena Doo Dah Parade
Saturday, April 30th • 11am
Colorado Blvd. (between Sierra Madre and San Gabriel Blvds.) in East Pasadena
Daring to go where, well, we went last year, this year’s Pasadena Doo Dah Parade will venture eastward for the second time in its colorful history. “Old Pasadena has been a terrific backdrop and host for the Doo Dah Parade,” says organizer Tom Coston. “But East Pasadena is an exciting new frontier with its own local character and possibilities. It’ll be a great party for all!” BRING A LAWN CHAIR
The Jack Smith Trail Walk
Sunday, May 1st • 9am
Tunnel entrance of the Southwest Museum, 234 Museum Dr.
The Jack Smith Trail Walk honors one time Mt. Washington resident Jack Smith, the Los Angeles Times columnist who wrote with wry humor about life, the English language and his observances of Mount Washington. The Jack and Denise Smith Multi-purpose Room at the Mount Washington Elementary School is in part due to the generosity of Denise Smith.
Pets on leashes are welcome. There will be a rest stop with water and refreshments at Mount Washington Elementary School. Feel free to jump in or peel off at any point as you pass the route to your house if you’re a Mount Washington resident. The Seaview Avenue loop at the top of the hill is a fun easy walk with wonderful views.
