Gin Blossoms

The 11th annual Eclectic Music Festival and Art Crawl in South Pasadena, happening on April 27, will feature Grammy-nominated jangle-rockers Gin Blossoms (who just released a new album, “Mixed Reality,” last year) among nearly 50 bands on 12 stages.

The free, all-ages festival, which runs from 3 to 10 p.m. in the area surrounding the Metro Gold Line station at Mission and Meridian streets, will also feature a wine and beer garden, food trucks in addition to area restaurants and cafés, vendors of local artisans and an interactive art installation (this year, a three-foot fantasy replica of the neighborhood called “Little South Pas” created and facilitated by Wisdom Arts Lab and SPACE artists Abira Ali, Kindred Gottlieb, Guadalupe Montalvo and Marie Switzer Miller).

VIP Zone tickets for $50 are also available for access to a private, seated area with tables at the prime festival corner of Mission Street and Fairview Street; wrist band for in and out privileges; beer and wine tickets; and a goodie bag with festival swag and other items.
