Billie Jean King

The 2025 Rose Parade© Grand Marshall

The crowds gathered along Colorado Boulevard on the morning of January 1, 2025, will be treated to the presence of tennis legend Billie Jean King, who has been selected as the Grand Marshal of the 2025 Rose Bowl Parade in a fitting tribute to her storied career and tireless work for equality. The excitement and enthusiasm over her appearance mirrors the parade theme: “Best Day Ever!”

King, a 39-time Grand Slam champion, revolutionized women’s sports with her groundbreaking achievements on the tennis court. She became a global icon after her victory over Bobby Riggs in the famous 1973 “Battle of the Sexes,” a match that not only demonstrated her skill but also sent a powerful message about gender equality. King’s

victory helped elevate the visibility of women’s sports, proving that female athletes deserved the same respect, attention, and compensation as their male counterparts.

As Grand Marshal, King will lead the parade of colorful floats down Colorado Boulevard, ushering in the new year along with the estimated 800,000 attendees. She will also participate in the pre-game ceremony at the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the 111th Rose Bowl Game® presented by Prudential.

The Long Beach native says she has fond memories of watching the parade with her family, and is honored to be tapped for the role. “This parade is a wonderful celebration of joy and community, and it truly represents the “Best Day Ever” for all who attend or watch,” she says.

Hahamogna Watershed Park

Located in the lush Arroyo Seco, the 1300-acre park connects a stream running between the San Gabriel Mountains and the Los Angeles River. The park features an athletic ﬁeld, a 24-hole Frisbee golf course, picnic areas with grills, and a variety of trails great for birdwatching, bicycling, and hiking. cityofpasa dena.net/parks-and-rec/parks/ hahamongna-watershed-park

Angeles National Forest

The picturesque mountain range that frames Pasadena is the San Gabriel Mountains, part of the sweeping Angeles National Forest, and a huge swath of protected land. Established in 1908, Angeles was the first National Forest established in the United States. It’s well worth the drive to explore the 1,000-squaremile preserve. Check out the views from the Mount Wilson Observatory, hike the numerous trails, try zip lining, or opt to pitch a tent at one of the well-maintained campgrounds.

ARCHITECTURE

TRIVIA

Recognize this house? It was Doc Brown’s in the hit film “Back to the Future.”

Gamble House

Designed in 1908 by Pasadena architects Greene & Greene for David and Mary Gamble, this estate is considered one of the finest examples of early 20th-century Craftsman architecture in the country. Visitors can tour the property to see the interiors, all preserved with their original furnishings. The historic two-anda-half acre property includes lush gardens filled with colorful, fragrant roses and wisteria. gamblehouse.org

“Their goal was to develop a singular style of architecture appropriate to California’s climate and lifestyle...massive pilings of arroyo stone and clinker brick, Japonesque lanterns, verandahs and pergolas, open courtyards and shaded porches, and low-pitched rooflines with rafter tails.”

— Arts & Crafts historian Bruce Smith (Arts & Crafts Homes, 2021/Patricia Poore)

City Hall

Pasadena’s timeless City Hall was designed by John Bakewell & Arthur Brown, who were influenced by the early Renaissance style of 16th-century Italian architect Andrea Palladio. Construction was completed on December 27, 1927. Its soaring dome is instantly recognizable to residents—and by fans of the popular television show “Parks and Recreation,” where it stands in for the government building of the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. cityofpasadena.net

Colorado Street Bridge

PRO TIP

During California’s poppy season, visitors can snap a great photo of the orange blooms from nearby Desiderio Park with the bridge as the backdrop.

One of the nation’s most iconic bridges, the towering Colorado Street Bridge was opened to the public in 1913. Made from concrete, it spans almost 1,500 feet and stretches 150 feet above ground in some sections. Visitors can see the bridge’s Beaux Arts arches, light standards, and railings in several Hollywood productions, including 2016’s acclaimed film “La La Land.”

ONE CITY, HUGE IMPACT

See’s Candies

See’s Candies is synonymous with decadent, high-end confections, and one of the founders, Mary See, perfected her recipes in a cozy, post-Victorian bungalow in Pasadena. In 1921, she opened the ﬁrst See’s Candies shop and kitchen in Los Angeles along with her husband, Charles See. Some of their candies are still made using Mary’s very own original recipes, including Peanut Brittle, Victoria To ee, and Chocolate Walnut Fudge.

Trader Joe’s

Fans can still shop at the very ﬁrst Trader Joe’s location, which was opened in Pasadena in 1967. Founder Joe Coulombe envisioned a store where consumers could access unique ingredients from around the world. And all these years later, the store’s employees still sport the brand’s signature Hawaiian shirts.

Julia Child

Cheeseburgers

Pasadena native Lionel Sternberger invented the sandwich at his father’s roadside stand back in 1924—a joint ﬁttingly named Rite Spot. It was the ﬁrst time “The Original Hamburger with Cheese” appeared on a menu, and it cost a whopping $0.15. Every January, the city celebrates his genius during Cheeseburger Week.

Panda Inn

FUN FACT

Panda Inn is the inspiration behind fast food giant, Panda Express, also owned by the same family

The ﬁrst Panda Inn was founded in 1973 by Andrew and Peggy Cherng and Andrew’s father, Master Chef Ming-Tsai Cherng. All three hail from the Yangzhou region of China, and they wanted to popularize di erent varieties of Chinese cuisine, particularly Mandarin and Sichuan dishes. Customers were delighted by the diverse spices and techniques used in the restaurant’s recipes, and the brand has grown to four locations in Southern California.

Jonathan Gold

Julia Child, perhaps America’s most well-known chef, author, and television personality was born Julia Carolyn McWilliams in Pasadena in 1912. She spent most of her childhood here, attending Polytechnic School and Westridge School until ninth grade. Later, of course, she went on to popularize French cooking methods, and authored the classic cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.”

The late Jonathan Gold, one of America’s most iconic food critics, called northeast Pasadena home for more than 20 years. He had a long tenure as the chief food critic for the Los Angeles Times and also wrote for Gourmet magazine. Gold was delighted by the L.A.’s diversity, and famously reviewed under-the-radar spots serving authentic dishes from around the globe. In 2007, he became the ﬁrst food critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism.
