In celebration of Walktober, the public is invited to attend a Public Art Walking Tour, starting and ending at the Pasadena Robinson Memorial.
Join Councilmember Justin Jones and Cultural Affairs Staff for a 2.5-mile tour showcasing notable public artworks commissioned under the City’s Private Development and Civic Public Art Programs. Attendees will have an opportunity to explore the stories behind some of the City’s most iconic public artworks, learn about the artists who created them, and gain insight into how public art enhances the cultural fabric and visual landscape of Pasadena.
Walktober is an annual international initiative to encourage walking, and this year marks Pasadena’s 7th year of participation. Sponsored by the City of Pasadena Department of Transportation in partnership with Day One and the Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition (“PasCSC”), Walktober offers a variety of events throughout October to promote walking for health, social connection, and appreciation of the city’s cultural and natural beauty. The Public Art Walking Tour is one of many exciting activities aimed at inspiring the community to explore Pasadena’s vibrant public spaces.
> The Public Art Walking Tour is free and open to the public, with registration required. Visit this website for more information and to register.
