2027 Rose Parade
January 2027 Pasadena, CA.
THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN
Making History at the Front of the Line
We are honored and thrilled to share that the Pride Bands Alliance has been invited to perform in the 2027 Rose Parade!
For the first time ever, an out, loud, and proud LGBTQIA+ organization will lead this iconic global event. When our 300+ member unit steps onto the parade route, we will represent over 3,700 musicians from 42 organizations across the globe—and generations of LGBTQIA+ artists who longed to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Help Us Lead with Pride
This is the biggest opportunity in our history, and we need your help to make this moment unforgettable. While our dedicated musicians are personally funding their own travel, we must raise an additional $300,000 to cover essential logistics and custom-designed uniforms that will ensure our global debut is unified, professional, and unmistakably us.
When our band marches into millions of living rooms around the world, our pride will speak before we ever play a note. Will you stand at the front with us?
March Into History with Us
Registration to march in the band is now closed, but you don’t have to miss out on the magic. You can still experience our historic journey down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on New Year’s Day 2027 as part of our Family & Friends contingent!
Get exclusive grandstand seating, hotel accommodations, group events, and more.
