Saturday and Sunday
May 2nd and 3rd

Jet Propulsion Laboratory

This popular event celebrates JPL's accomplishments with exhibits and demonstrations about the Laboratory's ongoing research and space exploration. Many of the Lab's scientists and engineers are on hand to answer questions about how spacecraft are sent to other planets, how scientists utilize space technologies to explore Earth and how researchers are searching for planets beyond the solar system.

The Open House is a fun and educational experience for children too, with special hands-on activities designed for kids.

JPL is located at 4800 Oak Grove Drive in Pasadena, off the 210 (Foothill) Freeway at the Berkshire Avenue/Oak Grove Drive exit. Parking is available near the Oak Grove main gate and the eastern boundary of JPL, accessible from Windsor Avenue via the Arroyo Boulevard exit off the 210 Freeway.

The 32nd iteration of Pasadena's eccentric parade begins at the corner of Holly Street and Raymond Avenue, then heads down Raymond to Colorado, and ends at Pasadena Avenue. America's favorite "other parade" is known for its colorful and irreverent satirical spin on the New Year's Day Rose Parade.
