This year’s parade kicks off at 8 a.m. and features tennis legend Billie Jean King as the Grand Marshal, embodying the spirit of equity and inspiration. The 5.5-mile parade route begins at Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard, winding east along Colorado Boulevard before concluding at Villa Street. Spectators should plan ahead, as street closures will start at 10 p.m. on December 31 and remain in effect until 2 p.m. on January 1.
Curbside seating along the route is free, and the tradition of overnight camping continues, though only permitted starting December 31. For a closer look at the parade, grandstand tickets are available, ranging from $75 to $125, with premium spots filling up quickly. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or a first-timer, arriving early—preferably by 6:30 a.m.—is crucial to secure a good view amidst the bustling crowds.
Transportation is made easier with Metrolink and Metro rail lines offering early services. The Metro Gold Line, with stops close to the parade route, is particularly convenient. Parking, though limited, is available through reservation systems and local services, so plan ahead to avoid stress on the big day.
Beyond the parade, the Rose Bowl Game follows at 1 p.m., featuring a showdown between Oregon and Ohio State. Football fans can expect high-energy action and a celebratory atmosphere at this historic stadium.
For those watching from home, live broadcasts and online streaming options ensure you won’t miss a moment of this floral extravaganza. From intricately designed floats to dynamic musical acts and awe-inspiring equestrian units, the 2025 Rose Parade offers a magical start to the year. Mark your calendars and prepare to celebrate this beloved tradition!
