EDIT: I like to watch it on KTLA. Here's more about how to watch it there.

This is my annual reminder. Do not miss the best parade in the world...the Pasadena Rose Parade. This year there are 44 flower covered floats and 20 marching bands from around the world. This parade also has quite a few equestrian units that are fun to watch.

Of course I grew up not far from there, so it's special to me. If you watch it, let me know.

It starts at 8 am Pacific time (Los Angeles time) today.

Watch the 131st Rose Parade Presented by Honda, a New Year’s Day Tradition
Posted 6:00 AM, January 1, 2020, by KTLA 5

The iconic Southern California New Year’s tradition - the Rose Parade - runs along a 5 1/2-mile route in Pasadena and this year includes 39 floral-decorated floats, 20 marching bands, 17 equestrians units, and of course the Royal Court and Rose Queen.

Put on by the Tournament of Roses, the 131st Rose Parade begins at 8 a.m. PT Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020. This year marks the 73rd consecutive television broadcast of the Rose Parade on KTLA.

Before the big event, KTLA will air two hours of pre-parade programming, “Backstage at the Rose Parade,” and “Rose Parade Countdown.”

The theme for the 2020 parade is “The Power of Hope,” which the tournament says “celebrates the influence of optimism and hope.”

The three grand marshals are Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, actress Gina Torres and prolific performer Rita Moreno.

The 102nd Rose Queen is Camille Kennedy of Pasadena, a senior at La Salle College Preparatory.

KTLA’s hosts for the broadcast are Leeza Gibbons, Mark Steines and our own Micah Ohlman.

If you’re a particular fan of one of the marching bands in the parade, you can watch the “Band Cam” - a raw, unedited feed devoted to the bands - on KTLA’s Facebook page.

The parade will be available to watch on demand on KTLA’s YouTube page.
