An Evening at Castle Green

You’re Invited!

On Saturday, July 11, 2026, we will gather at Castle Green to honor the visionaries who launched Pasadena’s modern preservation movement and to formally begin our 50th Anniversary year.

This event will recognize Claire Bogaard, William W. Ellinger III, Katie Harp McLane, and James Marrin whose advocacy helped preserve many of Pasadena’s most treasured places.
