Doo Dah Parade, Annual alternative parade in Pasadena, California.
The Doo Dah Parade fills the streets of Old Pasadena with art cars, mutant vehicles, marching bands, and performance artists for a 90-minute celebration.
Founded in 1978 when friends at Chromos bar created an alternative event during a Sunday when the Rose Parade could not take place.
The parade connects local artists, musicians, and performers through satirical presentations, reflecting the creative spirit of Southern California communities.
The free parade starts at Raymond Avenue and Holly Street at 11:00 AM, with multiple public parking options and Metro A Line access.
Participants throw tortillas into crowds while groups like the Shopping Cart Drill Team and BBQ Marching Grill Team perform their routines.
