帕萨迪纳市——第28届拉丁裔传统游行与节庆（Latino Heritage Parade & Festival）于10月10日（周六）在帕萨迪纳市举行。据帕萨迪纳市政府发布的活动信息，游行于下午4时至5时沿洛斯罗布尔斯大道（Los Robles Ave）行进，随后晚上5时至9时在市政厅前举行节庆活动，今年的主题是「因社区的心跳而团结」（United by the Heartbeat of Our Community）。
这项活动是全美拉丁裔传统月的固定节目，游行队伍包括社区团体、学校、民间舞蹈团与地方机构，沿途有音乐与传统服饰表演。节庆现场设有美食摊位、家庭活动区与社区资源摊位，市政厅周边街道在活动期间实施交通管制，主办方建议民众搭乘公共交通或提前安排停车。
帕萨迪纳的拉丁裔社区历史悠久，这项始于上世纪末的游行已成为全市最具代表性的多元文化活动之一。市政府表示活动免费开放，欢迎各族裔居民参加；具体路线与管制信息可在市政府网站查阅，雨天安排以官方公告为准。
全美拉丁裔传统月为每年9月15日至10月15日，正值多个拉丁美洲国家的独立纪念日，帕萨迪纳的这场游行与节庆向来是传统月的压轴活动之一。帕萨迪纳市政厅是本市的地标建筑，其庭院与周边街道为节庆提供了天然的舞台，市政府多个部门与社区机构在现场设摊，提供选民登记、健康筛查与青少年项目信息，把节庆同时办成一场社区服务展。主办方提醒，游行沿线部分路段从当天下午起封闭，自驾前往的观众可使用科罗拉多大道周边的公共停车场，或搭乘地铁A线至纪念公园站步行前往。错过今年活动的居民，可留意市政府活动日历，感恩节与圣诞季期间市政厅一带还将有多场免费社区活动。

Pasadena's 28th Annual Latino Heritage Parade and Festival Takes Place October 10
PASADENA — The 28th annual Latino Heritage Parade and Festival took place in Pasadena on Saturday, October 10. According to the City of Pasadena, the parade stepped off from 4 to 5 p.m. along Los Robles Avenue, followed by a festival from 5 to 9 p.m. at City Hall, under this year's theme, 'United by the Heartbeat of Our Community.'
A fixture of Hispanic Heritage Month, the parade features community organizations, schools, folkloric dance groups and local agencies, with music and traditional dress along the route. The festival offers food booths, family activities and community resource tables. Streets around City Hall were closed during the event, and organizers encouraged attendees to use public transit or plan parking in advance.
Pasadena's Latino community has deep roots in the city, and the parade, dating to the late 1990s, has become one of its signature multicultural celebrations. The city said the event is free and open to residents of all backgrounds; route and road-closure details are on the city website.
National Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15, spanning the independence days of several Latin American countries, and Pasadena's parade and festival is traditionally one of the month's closing highlights. City Hall, the city's landmark, gives the festival a natural stage, and city departments and nonprofits set up booths offering voter registration, health screenings and youth-program information — turning the celebration into a community services fair as well. Organizers noted that streets along the parade route closed from the afternoon, and drivers were directed to public lots around Colorado Boulevard or the Metro A Line's Memorial Park station, a short walk away. Residents who missed this year's event can watch the city events calendar: more free community gatherings are scheduled around City Hall through the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
