Admission is free, and the outdoor event is open to all ages. (visitpasadena.com) (oldpasadena.org) The weekend program stretches beyond shopping. Old Pasadena and Jackalope list live music, food vendors, and family activities including flower picture frame building, friendship bracelet making, slime customization, face painting, live caricatures, and weaving demos. (oldpasadena.org) (jackalopeartfair.com) Pasadena Now reported that the fair’s live schedule includes Paul Falcon, Ricky England, Ricky and Song, and Rusty Perez across both days. The same report said Piece by Piece is offering a Floral Mosaic Workshop for $15 per session, with each session lasting about 30 minutes. (pasadenanow.com) Food is part of the draw too. Pasadena Now said Kogi BBQ is among the vendors, alongside Bao Bao Express, Boba Bestie, La Pinsa Mia, Thai Mex Cocina, Mariscos Arenita, and Pasadena’s Agnes Restaurant and Cheesery. (pasadenanow.com) This Pasadena edition is not a one-off. Pasadena Now said Jackalope Arts has held semiannual markets at Central Park since 2015, giving the event a regular place on Old Pasadena’s spring and fall calendar. (pasadenanow.com) For this weekend, the pitch is simple: one park, two days, no cover, and hundreds of makers selling directly to shoppers in the middle of Old Pasadena. (pasadenanow.com)
