Pasadena's Rose Parade

Celebrate the start of the New Year at the world-famous Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena! You've watched it on television along with millions of others worldwide, but there's nothing like being there. Let your senses be filled with the exciting sights and sounds of this spectacular event as colorful and animated floats, spirited marching bands, high-stepping equestrian units, and celebrities parade in front of you down Colorado Boulevard.

The 2024 theme, Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language, brings us together through music. In a world of different cultures, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, music is the one language that unites us all. The sound, texture, rhythm, form, harmony, and expression meld together to move, soothe, excite, and delight the world. From bossa nova to blues, classical to country, metal to mariachi, and rock to rap, thousands of genres invite us to become one in celebrating a world of music.

Your tour includes round-trip deluxe motor coach transportation, complimentary snacks and waters served on the coach, reserved north-facing grandstand seats—with the sun at your back, not in your eyes—and unobstructed views of the parade.

Know Before You Go

• No children under the age of 12 are permitted on this trip.

• Backpacks, large coolers and large bags are prohibited in the grandstands.

• The motor coach parks 0.7 miles from your assigned parade seats and thus requires a 10-15 minute walk on flat surfaces. Access to your assigned grandstand seat(s) requires ascending stairs.

• Please locate your assigned bus at the boarding location based on your designated letter (A, B, C, etc.) as shown on this confirmation and in the lower right hand corner of the bus windshield.

• The parade will proceed rain or shine. Umbrellas are prohibited in the grandstands, so we recommend bringing a weatherproof hooded poncho and waterproof footwear if rain is possible.

• The restrooms available at the parade are portable facilities.

• Only folding portable stadium seats 18" or less in width and without armrests are permitted in the Rose Parade grandstands. Items wider than 18" will not be allowed.

• Your tour includes complimentary snacks and bottled water while on the coach. We will make a short comfort stop on the return trip where you can purchase food to consume on the coach. You are also welcome to bring a sack lunch or personal food items and may keep them on the coach during the parade.
