Rose Parade 2026 soaked in New Year’s Day storm: photos

Mother Nature crashed the Rose Parade in Pasadena.

The storied Rose Parade got absolutely drenched Thursday in a New Year’s Day storm. Up to two inches of rain pelted the 137th edition of the iconic parade.

Marching bands slogged through puddles. Elaborate floats were blasted in the deluge. And onlookers grimaced through rain ponchos.
