Some highlighted guests include Kate Durbin, Jonathan Gold and the Bob Baker Marionette Theater. The event is free and will take place at Pasadena’s Central Park from 10 am until 5 pm. For more information, visit the event's website.
DANCE: If you haven't caught it yet, the Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre is rolling through town in a roving dance trailer called the Oasis Dance Trailer. Tonight the performance "At The Oasis" heads to East Los Angeles. There will be performances at 8:30 pm and 9:30 pm at the East LA Civic Center at 4800 E. 3rd Street. For tickets, head to the Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre website.
CRAFT: Today and tomorrow the Echo Park Craft Fair is happening. This is a chance to check out handcrafted items from locals. It takes place at 821 East 3rd Street (which, yes, is in downtown not Echo Park) from noon until 7 pm. For more information about vendors, visit the fair's website.
