Pasadena is famous for hosting the Rose Bowl every New Years Day, one of the oldest college football tournaments in the United States. Coinciding with the Rose Bowl is the Tournament of Roses Parade. The Parade is a celebration of the natural beauty of the city and the floats are all decorated with flowers. But Pasadena is about more than just football and parades, as it is one of the primary cultural centres of the San Gabriel Valley.
It is home to the Pasadena Symphony that plays at the Pasadena Civic Centre regularly. The Pasadena ART Weekend is a yearly event and for 3 days the city's art institutes open their doors to the public for free. There are many fun programmes organised to coincide with the event. Another annual event is the Museums of Arroyo Day, an event that spans the stretch between Los Angeles and Pasadena. It will be held on the 15th of May.
The Museums of Arroyo Day involves two Pasadena museums and three from Los Angeles. On this day, the museums do not charge an admission fee. Each museum has something different to offer and the public have fun trying to catch the displays at all five museums before the closing of the day.
For art lovers there is Gamble House, which displays some of the finest in American craft and architecture. The beautiful Lummis Home and Gardens will also be enjoyed by those with an eye for art and architecture. History lovers will not want to miss the Heritage Square Museum, which is a living history museum chronicling the settlement of Southern California, or the Pasadena Museum of History, with its many preserved artifacts, showing Pasadena as it once was. If you want some action with your history, stop at the Los Angeles Police Historical Museum. The museum takes you through the rich history of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Since the museums also run a free shuttle service, ferrying passengers from one museum to the other travel becomes very easy. You can make it even easier by finding a hotel that is close to the major attractions of the city. A Huntington Hotel offers you the advantage of a great location. Pasadena California Hotels like The Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa, Pasadena, not only gives you the benefit of a good location but also has luxurious facilities that will make sure you are taken care of after a long day of taking in the amazing sights Pasadena has to offer.
