Doo Dah Parade

Flamboyant Pasadena procession

Old Town Pasadena
(Raymond Ave & Holly St)
Los Angeles, CA
+1 626 440 1827

Now in its third decade, this lively procession started out as a spoof of the famous Rose Parade, but has since taken on its own persona. Every year it attracts a massive troupe of performers from all walks of life. These eccentric folks march down Colorado Boulevard doing just about anything they please, attracting more than 30,000 people every year. Some of the highlights from years past have included midget cheerleaders, dogs in drag, Mr. El Nino and the West Hollywood Cheerleaders. The parade is held in November, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Admission to the parade is free, and if you wish to be one of the paraders, there is a USD10 entry fee per person. The parade is sponsored by the Light Bringer Project, a Pasadena-based non-profit arts organization.
