The Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Association is thrilled to announce the 21 bands that will march into the new year on January 2, 2023, in the 134th Rose Parade® presented by Honda. Bands have already kicked off their fundraising activities, band visits by Tournament of Roses President Amy Wainscott have commenced, and community support is at an all-time high for their trip to the Parade, themed “Turning the Corner.”
The bands will travel to Pasadena from across the United States and around the world, including China, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Panamá. Thousands of performers will enjoy the experience of a lifetime when they march down Orange Grove and Colorado Blvd. The 2023 Rose Parade will feature six new bands ready to become part of Rose Parade history, as well as several bands that have been Parade mainstays for decades.
