The Rose Parade is an iconic New Year’s Day tradition. After an early breakfast, you’ll enjoy an up-close view of this bucket list experience from reserved grandstand seats. The 2025 Parade Theme is “The Best Day Ever”. The theme celebrates life’s best moments – those unexpected times that bring a smile, warm our hearts and fill us with joy.
