Media Release
The South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and City of South Pasadena are excited to announce the South Pasadena Arts & Music Crawl, a free and family-friendly event featuring over 30 live musical performances, interactive art activities, special art gallery exhibits, artisan booths, and activities at local merchants. Produced by the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and co-sponsored by the City of South Pasadena, the event will feature a diverse range of local artists and musicians at venues across South Pasadena’s central business district on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 3 pm to 10 pm.
Dubbed a “mash up” because the event combines the art and family-friendly activities of the Chamber’s quarterly Arts Crawls with the free music of the Eclectic, the South Pasadena Arts & Music Crawl leans into South Pasadena’s deep talent to deliver a day designed to appeal to all ages and a diverse range of musical tastes. The South Pasadena Rotary Club stepped up to sponsor the outdoor stage on Meridian Avenue at Mission Street. Local musician Ed Donnelly joined the organizing committee to program the “Rotary Peace Stage” and the Singer-Songwriter stage at Mamma’s Brick Oven Pizza. South Pasadena Transit Authority kicks off the music at the Rotary’s stage at 3 pm, with new groups every hour until 10 pm, including Cole Gallagher at 7 pm, The Drive at 8 pm, and Goldtooth at 9 pm. A beer and wine garden with Knox & Dobson craft cocktails will add to the fun at Mission and Meridian.
Down Mission Street, Dave Plenn has organized the Dinosaur Farm Stage with music out back between 3 and 9:30 pm. Highlights of the line-up include the debut of Raul Pacheco’s, founder of Ozomatli, solo project at 7:30 pm and blues band, Delgado Bros., closing out the stage at 8:30 pm. Performances on Mamma’s Singer-Songwriter Stage begin at 3 pm and feature South Pasadena musicians Franki Cox, Maya Proulx, Sophie Reynolds, and DrunkHungry as well as former American Idol contestants Tristen and Delaney.
Pop-up galleries, art activities, special offers at South Pasadena’s shops and eateries, and artisans offering unique and hand-crafted items will provide attendees plenty to explore along Mission Street, from Meridian to Fair Oaks. Please visit SouthPasadena.net for event and location details.
Attendees are encouraged to bike, walk, or take the Metro A Line to the South Pasadena station. Those arriving by car can park in one of South Pasadena’s free public parking areas off Mission Street.
