Rose Parade 2027 in Pasadena — Live Cameras
The next parade is Friday, January 1, 2027 — 65 days out. Watch Colorado Boulevard on New Year's morning as the floats make their run. Free, no signup.
New Year's morning in Pasadena opens with flowers at five miles an hour. The Rose Parade has run since 1890: floats covered entirely in petals, seeds and bark, marching bands from everywhere, and horses down the middle of Colorado Boulevard, before grandstands that fill in the dark and a kerbside crowd that camps overnight for its place. The cameras on this page are Pasadena's own — the public feeds along and around the boulevard the parade travels.
The honest framing, as on every event page here: a traffic camera frames a street, not a flower. The petal-by-petal close work is the television craft. What these cameras hold is the parade's street truth — Colorado Boulevard in its one transformed morning: closed, lined, and carrying the floats past the intersections at walking pace, with the San Gabriels behind. And they hold the night before, when the boulevard fills with chairs, blankets and grandstand crowds while the floats wait in the dark at the formation area.
Come on New Year's Eve for the occupation of the boulevard. On the morning itself, work the route wall west to east as the parade makes its run — and stay after for the sweepers, the departing crowds and Colorado Boulevard becoming an ordinary street again by afternoon.
The route — Colorado Boulevard
Every public camera in the directory within 1.5 km of the route's three defining points: Orange Grove, where the parade forms up; mid-Colorado, the grandstand heart of the run; and the turn at Sierra Madre Boulevard. These cameras watch the boulevard itself — the street the parade travels.
Pasadena — 5 km
Every public camera within 5 km of mid-route: Old Pasadena, the Arroyo Seco edge and the streets that carry a city's worth of spectators in and out.
The whole field — 10 km
Every public camera within 10 km of Colorado Boulevard — the parade, the Rose Bowl in the Arroyo (the game follows in the afternoon) and the foothill towns the morning's traffic threads through.
The three views — camera counts
| Area | Cameras |
|---|---|
| The route (three points, 1.5 km each) | 11 |
| Pasadena (within 5 km) | 20 |
| The whole field (within 10 km) | 36 |
Counts are public cameras in the WorldEye directory per selection; the walls overlap, and the page total counts each camera once.
How to watch parade morning on the cameras
