Walk the 'lifestyle festival' and hopefully pick up lots of free shwag.
Come race-time hopefully have a spot to set up some chairs and watch the Jumbo-trons and circuit at the end of the race. I dont' hold great expectations for my first experience at these kinds of event. There's always a learning curve in regard to proper timing, parking, clothing etc. as a spectator. As long as my girlfriend is next to me, I will have a great time

I'm not sure what there will be to see depending on how early you're out there. Downtown Pasadena is always a good area to walk around and window shop etc. with the GF. I'm sure there will be plenty of vendors. My experience in Valencia last year was that the vendors were a plenty. With Lance riding, I'm sure there will be more. Clothing is regular street clothes really. Nothing special. =)
