South Pasadena’s countdown to the 13th Annual Eclectic Music Festival and Arts Crawl begins Sunday, April 2 at the preview party and fundraiser at the former Carrow’s Restaurant. Featuring live music from a few of the musicians playing at this year’s festival, live and silent auctions, and the reveal of the 2023 festival poster, the Preview Party is an important part of organizers’ efforts to keep the music free. Doors open at 4:30 pm and tickets may be purchased online at TheEclectic.Rocks for $70.
More than 80 guests are expected to join in celebration of this year’s Creative Community Award Recipients, SaraRose Orlandini and Tisa Adamson, while enjoying a preview of the music, art, and community they can expect at this year’s festival. Taking place in South Pasadena’s central business district on April 29, from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Eclectic Musical Festival will feature 15 music stages, 80 artisan vendors, a children’s activity zone, three beer gardens, a vintage flea market, and special activities at area merchants.
Party-goers will enjoy delicious appetizers and dinner from Huntington Catering as they bid on an eclectic array of silent and live auction items and enjoy live music – all while supporting the Eclectic Music Festival and Arts Crawl event. They will also get the first-look at this year’s festival poster.
The party is presented by the Eclectic Friends of the Arts and the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. The Eclectic Friends of the Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and donations are tax deductible as allowed by law (ID # 47-5448736).
