The 45th annual Pasadena Doo Dah Parade, billed as “The Other Party,” will wind through the city’s historic district on Sunday, November 24th, starting at 11:00 a.m.
The procession begins at Raymond Avenue and Holly Street, proceeding south before turning right onto Colorado Boulevard and concluding at Pasadena Avenue.
Participants must check in at Memorial Park’s staging area at 85 East Holly Street in Old Pasadena by 10:30 a.m., with registration opening at 8:00 a.m. A Fat Boys food truck will be available in the staging area.
Organizers recommend attendees bring lawn chairs, sunglasses, wigs, outrageous clothing, coolers, fully-charged phones, cash for Doo Dah T-shirts, and comfortable shoes.
Entry fees are $10 per person for those joining the parade. Digital registration remains open until the end of business day Thursday, November 21st, though last-minute participants can still sign up in person on parade morning.
Two after-parties will follow the event: a family-friendly gathering at Dog Haus and an official celebration at the Old Towne Pub.
The parade route is accessible via public transportation, with the Memorial Park Station on the Gold Line serving as a convenient access point.
