The streets along the famous El Paseo Shopping District will be closed to vehicles to accommodate the celebration happening from 7 am to 10:30 am. With over 1,500 attendees and growing each year, Paint El Paseo Pink kicks off the season with an event that is fun for everyone, including furry, four-legged friends! The walk begins at The Gardens on El Paseo, and then heads out onto El Paseo for a rousing, energetic lap of approximately 2 miles roundtrip.

Registration for individuals and teams is now available online, and the entry fee of only $25 per person includes a stylish pink commemorative t-shirt (while sizes and supplies last).

Everyone is encouraged to wear pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness, to celebrate and honor cancer survivors, including those currently in the midst of their cancer battle, and remember those whose journey was cut short by cancer.
