Rose Parade 2023
Each year on January 1, the world focuses its attention on Pasadena: home of the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. It’s a celebration more than a century old – a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere else in the world.
This year, the 134th Rose Parade will take place on January 2, 2023, at 8 a.m. PST. To serve attendees hoping to travel to Pasadena in time for the start of the Rose Parade, the first Metrolink train on each of the following lines will operate a modified schedule to L.A. Union Station where riders may connect to the Metro L Line (Gold), which provides direct service to the parade route.
