🎂🇺🇸 AMERICA IS TURNING 250! 🇺🇸🎂

In just one month, Pasadena will host one of the largest summer celebrations as we honor America's 250th Anniversary at 4th Fest!

For 250 years, generations of Americans have helped shape our nation's story. On July 4, we'll celebrate that legacy together with live music, food trucks, local vendors, a car show, family-friendly attractions, and a spectacular fireworks finale.

Whether you're coming for the food, the music, the memories, or the fireworks, there's something for everyone at this year's celebration.

One month away. One historic milestone. One unforgettable night.

Who's ready for 4th Fest?🇺🇸🎆
