The Arroyo Seco festival came to a close yesterday. The two-day event, which had its inauguration last year looks to become a regular on the California summer music festival scene. And for good reason. The performances yesterday were epic from start to finish. Legendary acts like The Bangles, Third Eye Blind, Alanis Morissette and Robert Plant all performed on time and in a remarkable fashion that must’ve brought back fond memories for all those in attendance that lived through the 80s and 90s.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect in Pasadena over the weekend, giving concert attendees a beautiful scene to enjoy all that it had to offer. Booths were lined up and down the famous golf course of Arroyo Seco with plenty of food options ranging from Pad Thai, to gourmet burgers but also catering to vegan and vegetarian sensitivities. Also on the agenda were fun activities for all to enjoy including arts and crafts for all ages as well as other lighthearted games for all to enjoy.
The scene at Arroyo Seco is a little different from other festivals like Outside Lands or Coachella, which are targeted towards a younger demographic. The hipster scene that is usually so prevalent at summer music fests was refreshingly non-existent, making way for a generally older crowd that preferred the experience of lounging on blankets and lawn chairs while sipping on a glass of a microbrew.
