The 29th annual Black History Parade and Festival will be this Sat., Feb. 19, starting with a parade originating in Charles White Park and ending with a festival at Robinson Park in Pasadena.

Jarvis Emerson of the City of Pasadena said that the parade is scheduled to start at 10 AM, at Charles White, and will move south along Fair Oaks to the festival site at Robinson Park on Washington in Pasadena.

Celebrity grand marshalls will be newscaster Michaela Pereira and Manuel Galloway, whose experiences with an all-black white-collar biker club were the basis of the film “Biker Boyz.” Galloway is currently an employee of the city of Pasadena.

Emerson said that the parade and festival, which is co-sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank and Miller Coors Brewing, will also honor 14 “unsing heroes and heroines.” “We have a large group that is participating,” Emerson said, including the mayor and council members from Pasadena, the Altadena sheriff’s station, and a host of drill teams and high school bands and other notables.

The festival at Robinson Park goes from noon to 4 PM and will feature music and food, and will be held indoors at the park’s gym due to rain, Emerson said.
