As most of us rose into the new year filled with all that life so seamlessly blends — hope and caution, joy and sadness, love and longing — Pasadena played host to the 134th Rose Parade after a strong rainfall washed over its streets to cap 2022.
The parade’s theme this year — an expression of hope and resilience — was “Turning the Corner.” The 2023 Rose Parade grand marshal was Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who survived a mass shooting.
