Doo Dah Love-In (Pasadena)

The parade is canceled, but the quirky fun will live on! Join me for the Doo Dah Love-In at Pasadena's Memorial Park. In the spirit of peace and love, let's don some hippie garb to keep it groovy and make it easier to spot Meet-Up peeps. *(Unless everyone else is also a hippie). I will have a few daisy headbands and peace necklaces to share; otherwise, grab your own or wear your tie-dye if you got it!
Event Info

Meet time: 12:00 PM (noon)
Location: Meet at the Defenders of the Union Statue in the park on the Raymond side. (Picture below)
Transportation: I suggest taking the train to Memorial Park. It is an easy walk.
What to Bring: hippie garb, good shoes, sunscreen, hat, water, and a blanket if you want to set up a spot to enjoy some music.
Notes: We will wait at the statue for only 15 minutes. If you come late, you will need to find group members on your own. Folks will be wandering and may not stay in a static location for the duration of the event. Keep your notifications on and check the event chat for updates; however, I will not be attending to my phone consistently.
Please only RSVP on Meetup if you plan to join the Meetup. Most folks will be attending alone, including myself, so please be courteous, be on time, and honor your RSVP so nobody is left behind.

Doo Dah Love-In: "A free, family-friendly afternoon of live music, colorful characters, creative expression, and community togetherness at the historic Memorial Park Bandshell in Old Pasadena.
An eclectic lineup of musical merrymakers will take the stage throughout the afternoon, featuring headliners Spaghetti Cumbia, along with The Hankies, Radioactive Chicken Heads, Count Smokula, Shag Party, Bonehenge, Robbie Ravenwood and the Funhouse Porcupines, Rocka Chewbacca, The Nextdoors, The Whistling Diva, StOnYAtTi, Bone Creek, and Soul Fuzz. The festivities will also feature appearances by former Doo Dah royalty Queen Mercy of the Merkettes, Taquila Mockingbird, and Bootleg Meg, along with the newly crowned 2026 Doo Dah Queen Hannah and her royal court.
Beyond the bandshell, expect a colorful cast of Doo Dah parade participants strutting their stuff throughout the park, alongside a collection of handmade oddities, quirky crafts, wearable art, vintage clothing, and interactive creations from local artists, makers, and counterculture visionaries. Expect the unexpected, and don’t be surprised to catch some familiar Doo Dah characters wandering through the festivities!"
