About Tournament Of Roses Parade
Welcome to the Tournament Of Roses Parade venue guide. In Pasadena, the parade is a moving event along a 5.5-mile route from Green Street & Orange Grove Boulevard to Villa Street on Sierra Madre Boulevard. With approximately 70,000 grandstand seats across five areas and free curbside viewing, this is a unique, city-wide experience. We’ve got practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you secure your plans with ease.
Note: The Rose Parade occurs on New Year’s Day, with the Rose Bowl Game at the nearby Rose Bowl Stadium scheduled on the same day. If January 1 falls on a Sunday, events shift to the following day per tradition. There isn’t a single fixed venue—the route itself is the working venue and remains in operation year after year. Always confirm the latest details as you plan your visit.
We’re here to help you secure seats or a great curbside vantage point, arrange parking through official vendors, and point you to reliable lodging and dining options near Pasadena. For the most convenient experience, consider using public transit when possible, as parking around the route can be limited on event days.
Key tips: secure your seats early with the official grandstand provider, review accessibility options through official forms, and explore nearby hotels like Hyatt Place Pasadena, The Westin Pasadena, and Hilton Pasadena for comfort and convenient access to the route. For local dining, we’ve highlighted trusted partners to simplify your planning. Have questions? We’ve got you covered—think of us as your friend in the business, here to help you enjoy the spectacle without the hassle.
