Got here at 4am and it was absolutely packed already. The dedication of parade fans is real. What an amazing community tradition!
Couldn't make it in person this year but NBC's coverage was great. Magic Johnson is a legend. That OneLegacy organ donation float had me tearing up.
First wet Rose Parade in 20 years and we were prepared with a canopy! The floats looked even more vibrant in the rain somehow.
Stuck in post-parade traffic but honestly not even mad. The energy today was infectious. Worth every minute.
Watched with my art history class. The craftsmanship on these floats is INSANE. Every petal placed by hand. True living art.
Just left the parade. Soaked to the bone but smiling ear to ear. Pasadena, you outdid yourself. See you in 2027!
The marching bands were INCREDIBLE this year. Especially loved the drumlines. Music and flowers - what a perfect way to start the year!
Family tradition - we watch together every year with my grandma's pozole recipe. She used to take us to the parade as kids. Missing her extra today.
Been tailgating since 9am. Roll Tide! This stadium is gorgeous and Pasadena knows how to throw a party.
Watching the replay with coffee and pastries. Missed the live parade but the vibe in Pasadena today is unmatched. Happy New Year everyone!
Flew in from Chicago just for this. First Rose Parade and it did NOT disappoint even with the rain. Already booking for next year!
Volunteering as a rose pinners this year was a dream come true. Stayed up all night decorating the floats. Seeing them on TV now hits different!
Different angle this year but still amazing. The Odd Fellows 'Together We Grow' float deserved that Golden State Award - stunning roses!
Camped out since midnight! Met amazing people from all over the world. The parade community is something special.
Best parade viewing party ever. Mimosas, breakfast burritos, and a perfect view. This is a Pasadena tradition I'll never skip.
Here for the big game! Indiana vs Alabama is going to be intense. The atmosphere is electric!
The rain made it magical honestly. Everyone was so happy despite being soaked. The theme 'The Magic in Teamwork' really showed - volunteers keeping us all dry with tarps!
First time bringing my kids to the parade in person. They loved every float but especially the Cal Poly Jungle Jumpstart - those animals were moving so smoothly even in the rain!
Watching our city's float 'The Great Picnic Heist' win the Past President Award! So proud to be a South Pas resident. The squirrels looked amazing!
Standing in the rain for hours was SO worth it! Magic Johnson waving from his car gave me chills. The OneLegacy float was absolutely beautiful - crying happy tears.
