Bandfest is a two‑day showcase (Dec 29‑30, 2026) featuring the marching bands selected for the Rose Parade, along with their dancers and auxiliary groups. Held at Robinson Stadium on the Pasadena City College campus (1570 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA), the event offers high‑energy field performances that highlight musical talent and creativity. Admission is ticketed, and free parking is available in Structure 4 off Del Mar Avenue. The lineup will be announced later in the year. Bandfest serves as a companion celebration to the Rose Parade, allowing the public to experience the bands up close before the televised parade on New Year’s Day.
