This month’s Old Pasadena Twilight Walking Tour will include the northern section of Old Pasadena, beginning at Memorial Park and walking south through several historic alleyways as evening sets in. This special twilight tour features the ruins of Pasadena’s second library, a historic theatre that has been readapted as condominiums, and perhaps one of the most controversial preservation stories regarding an entire block that was saved.

Old Pasadena is a shopping and dining destination, but without Pasadena Heritage, this National Register Historic District would have been destroyed. Now it stands as one of the finest examples of downtown revitalization in the country. As dusk brings out the glow of vintage signs and the quiet charm of hidden courtyards, one of our trained docents will lead you through the historic district and reveal its many hidden and unusual architectural details, old alleyways, and stories of transformation.

The tour is approximately 1.5 hours and covers about 1.5 miles.

Old Pasadena tours are graciously sponsored by the Old Pasadena Management District.
