ARRIVAL TIME
Your parking spot & seat will be waiting for you upon arrival. You can join us as late as you want. I highly encourage arriving between 7:00 - 7:15 AM for optimum ease in avoiding traffic. You’ll have absolutely no problem if you do.

If you’re like me… after waking up really early on New Year’s Day (especially if you partied the night before for NYE) you want peace of mind all you have to do is drive (or take the Metrolink) to Pasadena and EVERYTHING else has been taken care of for YOU including RESERVED PARKING.

Those who prefer not to drive
CLOSEST METROLINK STATION: Memorial Park

Join the camaraderie with fun-spirited friends as we welcome the New Year together!!

🌹THE ROSE PARADE🌹
One of the most beautiful parades in the entire world here in our own “backyard” in Pasadena.

FULL LINE-UP WILL BE UPLOADED

There’s several ways to do the Rose Parade! But none quite like this unless you have a parade contact who provides close-up STREET & SIDEWALK CURB G-R-O-U-P SEATING with VIP hassle-free parking just steps away.

I’ve uploaded photos (see gallery) of the cheaper bleacher seating to demonstrate the obstructive view. Many have walls blocking your view and trees in front of you.

WHERE TO MEET
Location & parking will be provided via PM 24-hrs prior to your cell#. If confirmed, please PM your phone# promptly!

WHAT TO BRING
Bring a cushion for your folding chair if you think you'll need it. Also, sunglasses and a warm jacket/layers. We are on the sunny side of the street. Bring your own snacks or beverages if you care to.

100% COMPLETELY HASSLE-FREE!!
My days of camping out the night before in the freezing cold and using a porta-potty were over in my late teens. I don’t want to fight CRAZY traffic, street closures and parking chaos. And I don’t want to spend $117+ for a good bleacher seat to be stuck up high. I WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING UP CLOSE WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS... view the breathtaking floats, the costumes, the marching bands, and the gorgeous equestrian units & horses!

Unless you have no-obstructions, bleacher seating is simply not worth the money! You need to know EXACTLY where your bleacher is AND location of your seat on the bleacher. It makes a HUGE difference!! Not all bleachers are the same! See bleachers at the end of the photo gallery to see exactly what I’m referring to.

WE HAVE EXCELLENT SEATING AS UP-CLOSE & PERSONAL AS IT GETS RIGHT ON THE STREET & SIDEWALK CURB.
It pretty much doesn’t get any better than this unless you have $117+ lower bleacher seats on Orange Grove & Colorado or know someone who lives there.

NO having to go alone because your friends/family aren’t interested!
NO camping out the night before & freezing!
NO searching everywhere for parking!
NO walking far!
NO standing for hours!
NO need to bring a chair!
NO climbing tall bleacher steps and getting trampled-on during the slow descent!
NO being blocked-in (bleacher seats) if you need to stand and stretch your legs!
NO walls on our sides like lower cost bleacher seating!
NO trees or obstructions in front of us!
NO going without a toilet for hours! (being stuck up high in bleacher seating).
NO being stuck behind people. Just get up and go. The parking lot is super close-by.

We are on the sunny north side of the street This is a B I G advantage early morning when it's very chilly. The only thing we give up as a trade-off is the south side of the street has a better view of the ‘camera’ side of the floats. Spotting celebrities as the floats go by super quickly in my opinion is not better than being more comfortable for 2+ hours in chilly weather!

Dress in layers because it warms up!

RESERVED PARKING
A wining combination! We also have HASSLE-FREE RESERVED PARKING that is NOT stacked and has IMMEDIATE PRIVATE entry & exit, and it’s only 100 FT from our seats.

OPTIONAL BRUNCH FOLLOWING PARADE OR MOVIE AT AMC 16 IN GLENDALE
We must exit the parking lot by 11:45 AM.
My best suggestion for anyone wanting to grab something to eat afterwards is to head out of Pasadena immediately to beat the traffic and have breakfast at IHOP immediately off the 134 W Freeway at Glendale Ave in Glendale or lunch at the Cheesecake Factory at the Americana in Glendale like last year. It’s super festive during the holidays. We got a table right away last year.
