On Monday morning, CBS News reported that eager spectators have already begun to nab their favored spots along the parade's 5.5 mile route in Pasadena.
“It’s lots of fun and we have family members who are gonna do shifts so we’re not going to be here all day and the kids enjoy it so we come every year,” paradegoer Isabel Hodge told CBS News early Monday.
As the parade's website notes, those who will be fortunate enough to get a spot along the parade's route will be "treated to a two-hour parade of magnificent floral floats, talented marching bands, and high-stepping equestrians."
The website continues:
The five-and-a-half mile Rose Parade route begins at the corner of Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena. The parade travels north on Orange Grove at a leisurely 2.5-mile per hour pace and then turns east onto Colorado Boulevard where the majority of the parade takes place. At the end of the route, the parade turns north onto Sierra Madre Boulevard and ends at Sierra Madre and Villa Street.
Curbside viewing space for the parade is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Overnight camping on the street will be permitted.
For those planning to drive during, before or after the parade, the city of Pasadena has released the following list of street closures.
Via CBS News:
According to Patch, there will be several options -- both in private and public lots -- for parking near the parade.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
The NFL will allow players to wear protective Guardian Caps during games beginning with the 2024 season. The caps were previously mandated for practices.
