Doo Dah Parade this Sunday

The 32nd “Occasional” Pasadena Doo Dah Parade celebrates the post-holiday season in its typically loud, irreverent style on Sunday, January 18th, stepping off at 11:30 am. The boisterous, twisted sister to Pasadena’s genteel Rose Parade is known for subversive spirit.

Over 1,500 revelers, many in outrageous costumes and carrying bizarre props, will be led by 2009 Grand Marshal Charles Phoenix, beloved by fans for his wacky Retro Slide Show performances, riding atop a vintage Fire Marshal's station wagon and trailed by dozens of roller skaters.

The parade is preceded by an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at the Pasadena Senior Center at the corner of Holly and Raymond, the start of the parade route, from 8:30 to 11:30 am. The cost is $7.00 per person. The parade is free!

Pasadena Senior Center, 85 E. Holly Street, Pasadena. Parade route travels down Colorado Blvd. between Raymond and Pasadena Avenues in Old Town Pasadena. For more info, visit the official website.
