The City of Pasadena wishes all a wonderful Fourth of July and urges everyone to remember the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made by those—past, present and future—who created and currently protect our country. Celebrate responsibly; always designate a driver, use common sense when outdoors in the sun and remember all fireworks are illegal in Pasadena. Please also remember that your animal companions are easily frightened by firework noises, and they need a quiet, secured space, water and lots of TLC.
