THE DIGEST
St. Patrick’s Day in Pasadena ☘️
In Pasadena’s golden light,
Green and gold shine warm and bright.
Parades and laughter fill the air,
Shamrocks dance without a care.
Under palms and mountain views,
We raise a glass to luck and hues.
From Old Town streets to cozy bars,
Cheers to clovers, dreams, and stars!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Pasadena!
