Eaton Fire, Relief Efforts and Emergency Needs of Community and Participants Prompts Postponement of Annual Cheeseburger Celebration
Due to the ongoing emergency and the focus on immediate relief for those deeply impacted by the Eaton Fire, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has postponed the Cheeseburger Week celebration until the week of February 23rd.
We thought it best to postpone Cheeseburger Week for a month until we all understand the extend of the
devastation and people most directly impacted may be starting to look for ways to get back on their feet. We are all dealing with the Eaton Fire tragedy and doing what we can to help those in so much need. Hosting Cheeseburger Week seems to be a distraction at this time, not the celebration it should be.
Pasadena restaurants celebrate the invention of the cheeseburger in the city in 1924 during Cheeseburger Week® 2025. 40 restaurants, burger joints and more take part in the citywide celebration now rescheduled for Sunday, February 23, 2025, to Saturday, March 1, 2025.
We are in discussions with participants on how they can best support the victims of the Eaton Fire and those who worked so hard to battle the fires and keep local neighborhoods safe. The delay will give us time to see if there is a way we can make the event benefit those who were so devastated by the fires. And we hope to be able to bring a little cheer, maybe a smile, and a lot of cheeseburgers to those who may need them most. Any fire support will be at the restaurant site.
Cheeseburger Week® is organized by the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce with their restaurant members. Continuing at the end of February, 2025, is the Cheeseburger Challenge®. Participants will still be able to vote for their favorites in several categories at www.pasadenarestaurantweek.com during Cheeseburger Week®.
