Pasadena Held its Latino Heritage Parade and Festival
Pasadena celebrated its 26th Annual Latino Heritage Parade and Festival on Saturday, honoring the Latino community's contributions to education and space exploration. The parade featured grand marshals Martín Dorado, a Pasadena teacher, and former NASA astronaut José M. Hernández, whose inspiring stories captivated the crowd.
The event showcased vibrant cultural performances by Aztec Dance Yankuititl and local school bands, drawing residents and local officials alike. A festival at City Hall followed, celebrating community spirit and Latino heritage. Sponsored by the City of Pasadena, the event reinforced the rich cultural diversity of the city.
By the way, News N' Roses was on the scene capturing all the vibrant moments, and we'll be sharing a special photo release soon with all the highlights!
