Authentically Yours, Pasadena

When your travels take you to Pasadena this shopping and holiday season, visit our small shops and get a taste of the local flavor! Every time you grab a coffee from a neighborhood brewer or buy a gift from a local shop, you're getting an authentically Pasadena experience. #ShopPasadena

The City of Pasadena and Visit Pasadena have launched the "Authentically Yours, Pasadena" campaign to shine a spotlight on the small businesses that make Pasadena the charming and multicultural place that it is. Make the choice to shop local this holiday season and explore the unique and independent shops Pasadena has to offer.
