Pasadena Summer Solstice Activities

With summer solstice comes the longest day of the year. Happy Summer Solstice and enjoy the activities around town.

♦ One Colorado ♦

Orchestral pop outfit Kan Wakan will take the stage at One Colorado on June 21, with an opening set from DJ Marion Hodges on the decks at 7:30pm.

7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Location: One Colorado Courtyard

Over the last few years the band has emerged as one of LA’s strongest talents. KCRW was an early supporter of Kan Wakan – so early, they went by a different name at the time – and we’re thrilled to present their artfully created noir-kissed sound.

Their full-length debut, “Moving On”, comes out on Verve in early June.

♦ Mt Lowe, Lake ave. Pasadena ♦

Take a morning or afternoon mini-vacation from everything and hike up Mt. Lowe to enjoy the view of Pasadena and downtown L.A.

Hiking up Mt. Lowe trail in Altadena/Pasadena is a journey letting a hiker’s imagination grasp history in the San Gabriel Mountains over 100 years ago.

Mount Lowe was the site of the Mount Lowe Railway, which enabled one to ride from Pasadena/Altadena to Mount Lowe Hotel and Resort (currently the site of Mount Lowe Campground).
