Back by popular demand, the Pasadena Senior Center presents free summer concerts each Tuesday from August 13 to September 2, from 5:00-7:00 pm, showcasing the talents of a variety of popular musical groups that range from jazz to big band to blues, and more. The two-hour concerts are open to people of all ages.
Three of the four free concerts will be performed on the center’s spacious, tree-shaded patio, and the fourth, a Labor Day event, will be in the Scott Pavilion. Get up on your feet, dance or simply sway in your chair or tap your toes to the music. Each group will perform two sets so people can come to the first performance, the second performance, or both.
Bring your own snacks, beverages and/or a picnic dinner for the perfect summer experience with family and friends of all ages. Neither residency in Pasadena nor membership in the Pasadena Senior Center are required.

The Pasadena Senior Center (PSC) is a vital community asset. As a donor supported nonprofit organization, the PSC does not receive local, state or federal funding for their operations and is not a city-operated facility. Every effort is made to keep membership and class fees as low as possible so that everyone can participate. While those fees help, they do not cover the operating costs of the Center. Private donations, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and community philanthropy are essential to support the Center’s operational expenses, as well as social wellness programs. Social wellness ensures: social connectedness; optimal quality of life; and maximized independence.
Every year, more than 10,000 older adults age 50+ from a variety of backgrounds, with differing needs, abilities and interests come to PSC for a sense of community and so much more. PSC provides the opportunity to: continue lifelong learning; discover new opportunities for social interaction; and engage in a multitude of activities to keep their minds sharp, bodies healthy and spirits soaring.
The PSC's dynamic programming also includes a full range of free social service programs for older adults who face chronic health issues, poor nutrition, social isolation, income insecurity, lack of access to transportation, and more. At the Center, they understand that older adults want to remain independent for as long as possible, and they work hard to help them do so with a sense of dignity, happiness, and safety in an environment where they are valued.
