Events: The Rose Parade

Line up along the route for the 122nd Rose Parade with nearly 700,000 other revelers. Floats, equestrian spectacles and more roses than could ever be counted make one of the year’s most spectacular events. Beware, though — die-hards gather as early as New Year’s Eve for prime locations. The parade begins at Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena and ends at Sierra Madre Boulevard and Villa Street. 8 a.m. Sun. Free. For the full route, see tournamentofroses.com.
