Memorial Day weekend is here — but it’s not back, per se. It’s sorta kinda much more like Memorial Day is supposed to be (remember last year? It was completely unmemorable). Don’t forget: health restrictions are still in place until June 15. Here in Pasadena, there’s lots to do compared to last year. We’ve gathered tons of them in a brilliant To Do List published for you below.
Of special note: Due to the pandemic, there are precious few local opportunities to honor the memory of those brave souls who have perished fighting for America. Fortunately, on Monday the Pasadena Chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America will conduct a brief Memorial Day service to honor and pay respects to those who have paid the ultimate price in defending our country. The event is planned for May 31st at 10:45 a.m. in Memorial Park, at the southeast corner of Raymond Avenue and Walnut Street in Old Pasadena.
