CicLAvia Pasadena 2026

CicLAvia is coming back to Pasadena on Sunday, November 15, 2026, for the first time in 11 years. The nonprofit and the City of Pasadena are closing a 2.7-mile stretch of streets to cars from 9 AM to 3 PM so that people can walk, run, bike, skate and roll through the middle of town. It is free, and it is CicLAvia's 69th event.

When: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 9 AM to 3 PM Where: Colorado Boulevard (Pasadena Avenue to Allen Avenue) and Raymond Avenue (Pacific Alley to Dayton Street) Price: Free

The route

The route links Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village and South Lake Avenue, and connects Metro's Memorial Park and Del Mar stations. Cars can cross at six key intersections. Colorado Boulevard is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, and it is part of Route 66, which marks its centennial in 2026. CicLAvia's executive director, Romel Pascual, said the event showcases one of the busiest boulevards in a car-free way.

There are two activity hubs, one at Memorial Park and one at Colorado Boulevard and Allen Avenue. The hubs offer family-friendly activities, restrooms, water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking, first aid and places to sit. Free pedicab rides are available at each hub's information booth.

Slow Streets

The city is also setting up pop-up bike lanes with cones and signage, called Slow Streets. A 1.0-mile western segment runs along Walnut Avenue between Raymond Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard and continues to Rosemont Avenue, a few blocks from the Rose Bowl. A second 1.0-mile segment follows Colorado Boulevard from Allen Avenue to San Gabriel Boulevard and connects to the Lamanda Park neighborhood.

Getting there and what to know

Streets on the route close to cars from 7 AM to 5 PM. No parking is allowed along the route starting at 4 AM, and the Slow Street routes have the same restriction from 4 AM to 5 PM. Signs go up in advance and towing is enforced.

Only people-powered vehicles are allowed. Electric scooters, electric skateboards, hoverboards, electric unicycles and motorcycles are not. Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes are allowed, class 2 e-bikes are allowed with the throttle off, and class 3 e-bikes are allowed with pedal assist off. Manual and motorized wheelchairs are welcome. Helmets are strongly recommended and are required by California law for riders under 18.

It is not a race, and there is no start or finish line, so begin where you like. The event runs rain or shine. CicLAvia lists a route map, closure details and volunteer information on its event page.
