Question 10

When is the best time to go to Pasadena?

Accepted Answer

The best time to go to Pasadena is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant.

During spring, temperatures typically range from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the city's outdoor attractions. The famous Rose Parade takes place on New Year's Day, but the weeks leading up to it in late December are also a popular time to visit due to the festive atmosphere and the opportunity to see the floats being decorated.

Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, generally between 18°C and 28°C, with less humidity than the summer months. This season is superb for enjoying outdoor dining and visiting the many gardens and architectural sites without the intense heat of summer.

For those looking to avoid crowds and potentially find better value on accommodation, visiting just outside of these peak seasons can be a good option.
