Every year, the plain flooring of Paseo Colorado is transformed into a wonderful and colorful canvass filled with artwork made from chalk.
If you love looking at chalk illustrations from hundreds of artists, this is the place for you that weekend. It runs from Saturday to Sunday. i would recommend arriving in the later half of Saturday, because it takes several hours for the artists to complete their temporary work.
By Monday, it will all be gone, so make sure to see the gorgeous artworks on display during this weekend. It only happens once a year.
The art is located at Paseo Colorado 280 E. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, Ca 91101
It is free to enjoy the art and the hours are from 10am - 7pm

CIRQUE BERZERK, a wild, sexy, decadent and demented alternative circus, that isn't exactly for kids, debuts June 18, 2009, and runs through 4th of July weekend (at least). Cirque Berzerk promises an even more twisted big top experience than ever before, adding several new acts under an even bigger big top. The 35-artist troupe is a tight-knit "family" of professional performers and musicians. Instead of typical circus fare emphasizing live animal acts and wholesome family fun, Cirque Berzerk features jaw-dropping acrobatics, stunning male and female aerialists, sexy, fiery burlesque dancers, gothic stilt walkers, punk rock clowns, and psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery.
When:
Cirque Berzerk's three-weekend engagement begins Thursday, June 18, 2009 - with one performance each Thursday at 8:30pm, two shows Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00pm and 10:00pm and two shows every Sunday at 5:00pm and 8:00pm - scheduled to run through Sunday, July 5, 2009. All ages are welcome.
