How to watch Monday, not on New Year’s
[ad_1]
If you were expecting to watch the Rose Parade the morning of New Year’s Day, you’ll have to wait another day.
The annual parade typically kicks off the morning the first day of the calendar year, but it won’t happen on Jan. 1 this year for the 20th time in its 134-year history. That’s because the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, the organizers of the parade, have kept it a tradition to not hold the parade on Sundays. This year’s Rose Bowl Game, which follows the parade, will also be on Jan. 2.

Why is the 2023 Rose Parade not on Jan. 1?
The Tournament of Roses has had a “Never on Sunday” tradition that began in 1893 when the first Rose Parade was scheduled to fall on a Sunday. The Mercury News reported the tradition was started to avoid scaring horses outside local churches and disrupting church services.
