Glitterati Tours welcomes The Ohio State Buckeyes and The Washington Huskies to Los Angeles and Pasadena for The 105th Annual Rose Bowl game on January 1st, 2019! If nothing else, look forward to our weather and soaking up some sunshine. Currently it’s hovering around 30 degrees in Seattle, and about 40 degrees in Columbus. L.A. is a perfect 70 degrees. But, there’s so much more. There are endless things to do when in LA for The Rose Bowl. Obviously, this should include the Rose Parade along Colorado Boulevard before the big game. Plan ahead, and make the most out your time in the city. First, a little on logistics. Pasadena is part of Los Angeles County. It’s about 15 minutes
The Pasadena Rose Parade 2018
December 11, 2017
It will be here before you know it. The tradition that’s over 100 years old, and showcases the beauty of Pasadena, Santa Anita and the San Gabriel Mountain Range. New York is the place to be on New Years Eve, but Pasadena owns New Years Day. Along with the parade, we also have our Rose Bowl Game. This year, The Oklahoma Sooners take on The Georgia Bulldogs. (See our previous post on The Rose Bowl Game and distance to Hollywood). The Rose Parade starts near the corner of Orange Grove and Colorado Blvd. It travels east for 5 ½ miles before turning north up Sierra Madre Boulevard. The Grand Marshal for The Pasadena Rose Parade 2018 is actor Gary Sinise.

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
New Years Eve Events In Los Angeles
November 30, 2016
New Years Eve Events in Los Angeles and Hollywood are growing daily as more are announced. It used to be that neighboring Pasadena stole our thunder when ringing in the new year with their massive Rose Parade pre-festivities on Colorado Blvd on the 31st, and the big Rose Bowl Game and Rose Parade on the 1st (this year on the 2nd, because New Years falls on a Sunday)…but we’re catching up.
