Some of our own local talent here in Altadena will be performing this Saturday night at 7pm at Farnsworth Park.
Mike Manning is a 44 year old guitarist who went to St. Elizabeth Parish School in Altadena and La Salle High School in Pasadena. He was in the military and was in Rock-N-Roll bands. He is now the director of the 8:30 Folk Mass Choir at St. Elizabeth Church.
Sean Manning is the younger brother. He's a tenor in the 10:00am Mass Choir at St. Elizabeth Church.
Sean has been performing Irish folk music for over 10 years. It was his idea to form a duet with his brother which today is known as Those Manning Boys.
For almost 7 years, Those Manning Boys have performed their Irish fair of music found in the public houses of Ireland at various Restaurants in the south land. They're also regulars at the St. Elizabeth Annual Festival and at other fund raising events for charity.
Farnsworth Park is located at (almost) the top of Lake Avenue in Altadena, California. Just take the 210 Freeway and get off at Lake Avenue and go towards the mountains for 3 miles and you're there.
The Altadena Community Garden, located at Loma Alta Park, 3330 Lincoln Ave., will have its annual picnic on Sat., June 28th from 1 to 6pm. Eat the wonderful produce, listen to the Brown Mountain Jazz Band, and enjoy meeting the gardeners and your neighbors. There will also be a raffle and silent auction. Last year this event drew over 200 people.
Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children 6-12, and children 5 and under are free:
The Altadena Community Garden is located on the site of the former Mt. Lowe Military Academy. An Altadena community fixture since 1974, our diverse group of dedicated gardeners tends 59 standard and 4 handicapped-accessible garden plots at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. The Altadena Community Garden is recognized as one of the leading community gardens in Southern California, opening our gates to school children, field trips, and events.
The sounds of jazz filled the air this past Saturday night in Altadena with the Elliot Caine Quintet.
Just in case you missed the opening of the Summer Concert Series at Farnsworth Park in Altadena, CA you can come on out this coming Saturday night, June 21st for the Juneteenth Celebration. There will be blues, jazz, gospel and zydeco music from 12:00 noon to 7:00pm. I'll be there at around 4:00 at the Christmas Tree Lane Association booth...come on by and introduce yourself!
South Pasadena remains a very desirable area based on its proximity to downtown Los Angeles, its small town feel, and its public schools...
