Culture & Heritage

We boast a rich history and culture – from the Pasadena Heritage Park & Museum, where you can soak up our history as the birthplace of Free Texas, to Pasadena Little Theatre, one of the oldest community theaters in the state. And we love to celebrate, whether it’s cheering for our high school football teams on a Friday night or eating our way through a community festival. We’re home to the annual Pasadena Strawberry Festival, known for having the world’s largest strawberry shortcake, annual Livestock Show & Rodeo, Independence Day’s 4th Fest, and more.
