Rose Bowl Welcomes Oregon and Wisconsin! On Wednesday, January 1st, the Oregon Ducks take on the Wisconsin Badgers at the 90K+ seat Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Pre-game activities, including tailgating, start at 1PM. Of course this game takes place after the 131st Rose Parade takes their 5 ½ mile journey down Colorado Boulevard. As always, look for marching bands, amazing floral floats, equestrian units, and celebrities. This years Grand Marshal’s for the “Power of Hope” theme will be Rita Moreno, Gina Torres, and Laurie Hernandez. With hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets, avoid driving into the area.

Visitors Guide to Rose Bowl Game and Parade
December 8, 2016
If coming to Los Angeles, one must have a visitors guide to the Rose Bowl Game and Parade happening in Pasadena. This year, both will take place on Monday, January 2nd, 2017, as opposed to the typical New Years Day. That’s because the Tournament of Roses that puts on both events has a “never on a Sunday” tradition dating back to 1893. This was done to assure that horses hitched outside churches wouldn’t be spooked during events. There’s no more horses (other than those in the parade itself), but the tradition continues. There will still be plenty of celebrating on New Years Eve along Colorado Boulevard with visitors and parade watchers grabbing the best seats along the route for the parade
