To celebrate the opening of "One Night With Janis Joplin" at the Pasadena Playhouse, bands like Dread Zeppelin, Cerny Brothers, Shillaly Brothers and Aquarius will perform free concerts in the Playhouse courtyard.

A Stone Brewing Company beer garden, food trucks, the Cherry Boom Boom 60s dancers, art show by Zona Rosa Caffe, Little Junebugs crafting and a photo opp with Janis Joplin's psychadelically painted 1965 Porsche are also in store.
