Did You Know?
The first Rose Parade was held on January 1, 1890, organized by the Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena. The parade was created to showcase California’s mild winter weather and the abundance of flowers, in contrast to the snowy conditions in the eastern United States.
A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
After the parade, there will be downtime in the afternoon for you to relax and explore the surrounding area. Use this time to visit local attractions, have a leisurely lunch, or simply unwind. The parade can be overwhelming, so some quiet time afterward is a great way to balance your day.
Our Tour Staff’s Recommendation
Get into the spirit of classic Hollywood with a classic film! Before coming to the Rose Parade, watch “Singin’ in the Rain”! This classic film showcases Hollywood’s golden age, perfect for those interested in the city’s entertainment history. This iconic movie provides a delightful look at the transition from silent films to “talkies” in the late 1920s, featuring unforgettable performances and timeless songs.
