South Pasadena is one of the San Gabriel Valley’s most beloved small communities: a fiercely preserved historic city of Victorian and Craftsman homes, a walkable Mission Street downtown, and a family-oriented character shaped by generations of residents who fought to keep this place exactly as it is. The Mission-West District’s community-scaled holiday season, with decorations along Mission Street and neighborhood light displays on the city’s historic residential streets, reflects a community that celebrates December on its own terms.
House of Kringle’s Santa Claus serves South Pasadena for private home visits in the city’s Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods and for community event appearances throughout the holiday season.
