The City of Pasadena Parks Recreation and Community Services Department (PRCS) and the Pasadena Latino Heritage Committee announce the theme for the 2025 Latino Heritage Festival, “Un Pasado con Orgullo, un Futuro con Esperanza,” which translates to “A Proud Past, a Hopeful Future.” The festival will feature live entertainment performances, children's activities, food vendors and more.

​This year's theme highlights the Latino community, which continues to grow in the city of Pasadena. Despite the Latino migrant community being targeted under President Donald Trump’s administration, this festival will honor and celebrate each individual who contributes to the broader tapestry of the city and the country. 

After thoughtful consideration, the Committee has also decided not to hold a parade this year, given the current issues impacting the Latino community. However, they will be moving forward with the festival and providing an opportunity to celebrate culture and community all together in a time of need for safe spaces.

Time: From 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. 

When: Saturday, October 11, 2025

Where: In Centennial Square in front of Pasadena City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave
