The Rose Parade will go on as scheduled despite a deadly attack in New Orleans, with authorities emphasizing heightened security measures for the event.
The 136th Rose Parade is set to kick off at 8 a.m. PST on New Year’s Day and roll along 5.5 miles of Pasadena streets before an anticipated crowd of hundreds of thousands. The parade will be televised by networks including ABC, NBC, KTLA and Univision, and streamed on platforms including YouTube, Fubo and Pluto TV. Celebrating this year’s parade theme of “Best Day Ever,” dozens of floats, marching bands and equestrian groups will traverse Colorado Boulevard through the heart of Old Pasadena .
The parade will be followed by the Rose Bowl game between the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The parade is set to begin hours after a pickup truck driver plowed through a crowd in New Orleans' French Quarter, killing at least 10 people and injuring at least 30 in a suspected terrorist attack. A man drove into the crowd around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday along Bourbon Street, which was bustling with New Year's Eve revelers and visitors in town for the Sugar Bowl college football game. New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the driver 'was hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did.' Lisa Derderian, a spokeswoman for the city of Pasadena, told The Times early Wednesday that the Rose Parade route is lined with 'very robust vehicle barriers' and that more than 1,000 law enforcement officers are in the city. 'This is a top-rated federal event, and it has been for many years, so we have federal, state, county and city resources that have been in Pasadena for several days and will remain through the end of the parade and the game tonight,' Derderian said. 'We want to ensure the public that we have every preventive measure in place,' she added. 'We’re confident we are prepared for this parade and this game, but with that in mind, we also feel for the state of Louisiana what they're going through.' During last year's Rose Parade, a woman rammed her vehicle into one of the barricades along Colorado Boulevard, Derderian said
