Looking for Something To Do? Free Events June 20 to 26


Here are events scheduled Saturday, June 20, to Friday, June 26.

All events are free, so take a look -- and don't you dare say there's nothing to do in Pasadena!

The Pasadena Chalk Festival is Saturday and Sunday, June 20 and 21, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Paseo Colorado. Drop by both days to see all the works in progress, vote for your favorites, enjoy live music, take the children to Kids Zone to create their own masterpieces, check out the classics at the Pasadena Police Department's Classic Car Show (Sunday only) and much more. (And yours truly will be the emcee on the main stage.)
