Pasadena Community Network

Light, Camera, Action! Join Pasadena Community Network at the 12th annual Latino Heritage Parade and Jamaica (pronounced ha-my-ca). PCN is the media sponsor for this special community event. Our full service mobile television studio will capture the parade as they make their way through the streets of Pasadena. If you happen to miss this celebration of the Latino cultural, the highlights will air on The Arroyo Channel 32 at a later date.

The parade and jamaica are sponsored by Latino Heritage, a volunteer organization that promotes cultural events and educational opportunities that create bridges between communities and generations while sharing the arts, culture, heritage and history of Latinos in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. The Latino Heritage parade and jamaica is underwritten by private donations and sponsors.
