Pasadena’s biggest block party is back! Everyone is invited to join Pasadena Heritage in celebration at the Colorado Street Bridge Party Saturday, July 12th from 6:00 to 11:30 p.m. This night of music, dancing, rare Mustangs, free kids activities, and festive foods and beverages will be held atop one of the most beautiful bridges in the world.

Old favorites will return and new attractions are being added to make July 12th a night to remember. Live music on three stages will be offered by groups such as Snotty Scott & the Hankies and Mercy & the Merkettes, while the Park Stage will be transformed into a Jazz Cub with performances by the likes of the Donovan/Muradian Quintet. Youngsters will be thoroughly entertained in the children’s area with balloons, pets from the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA, face painting, cookie decorating, and much more. 

Guests can stroll along the Bridge to discover delicious offerings from local vendors including Robin’s Wood Fire BBQ & Grill, Bling Bling Dumpling, Whole Foods, Old Fashioned Kettle Korn, Big Mama's Rib Shack, Shuck It Roasted Corn and Mexican, and more. A selection of wines from San Antonio Winery, along with on-tap handcrafted beers from Craftsman Brewing and Eagle Rock Brewery, and specialty cocktails including a Bridge Party Rum Punch will also be available.

The Colorado Street Bridge has been threatened numerous times in its one hundred year history, and for the last 37 years, Pasadena Heritage has been its leading champion. To save and restore this iconic structure, the organization conducted letter-writing campaigns, constant lobbying and national publicity efforts. Pasadena Heritage’s famous summer event on the spectacular span first highlighted the need to repair it. After many years of effort, the Bridge was saved, seismically upgraded and restored to its original grandeur – a feat that is celebrated biennially when 4,000 people turn out for what has become a much anticipated community event. Join us this year and become a part of the tradition!

 

Don’t miss out on what is sure to be one of Pasadena’s biggest summer bashes. Tickets are available in advance at www.pasadenaheritage.org/Bridgetickets for $16 adults/ $8 kids, $14 adults/ $6 kids member pricing. Day of prices are $18 adults/ $9 kids.

 

Take the Metro Gold Line and then take the free ARTS Bus to the Bridge. Show your Metro Tap Card to receive a free commemorative event poster, featuring artwork by artist Kenton Nelson, while supplies last.
