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.

Two questions:

1. How can we all help? (Will you offer something unique for those who suffered losses related to the fire?)

2. How can we make this Cheeseburger Week special?

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 asking participants on how you 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.

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®.

During Cheeseburger Week® from February 23rd to March 1st, Pasadena honors Lionel Sternberger’s genius in being the first to put cheese on a hamburger and serve it at the Rite Spot in Pasadena in 1924. Forty of Pasadena’s favorite restaurants, lounges and burger joints offer their signature burgers, some special creations and great deals during Cheeseburger Week.

Cheeseburger Week is a Pasadena Restaurant Week and California Restaurant Month event presented by the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. Cheeseburger Week is generously sponsored by Wells Fargo.
