The Pasadena Walking Film Tour

About:

On Saturday, June 24th, My Valley Pass is proud present our Pasadena Walking Film Tour. 

On this offshoot of our popular Pasadena (bus) Film Tour, join My Valley Pass co-founder Jared Cowan for a jaunt through Old Pasadena and the Pasadena Civic Center, and learn about a number of the popular movies and TV shows that have used this visually dynamic and historic area as a filming location. We'll even visit a few locations where a tour bus can't go, including - by way of the gracious support of Visit Pasadena - the grand interior of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Space is limited, so get your tickets today!
