For over a century, Pasadena has hosted visitors from across the globe to gather and celebrate ringing in the New Year with the legendary annual Tournament of Roses.

This year, the 136th Rose Parade and the 111th Rose Bowl Game feature a lineup of action-packed events and activities, including a parade, a bowl game, and some of the year's most beautiful, colorful florals.

What once started as a celebration of SoCal's year-round pleasant weather, vibrant winter blooms, chariot races, jousting, foot races and tug-of-war has become an iconic American tradition.

Thousands of fans trek from across the country each year to attend this legendary event live and in person (it's a top-notch bucket list experience!), and thousands more tune in for the television broadcast from their homes.
