California Festivals and Fairs
January
January is a time to mellow out, reflect, and slow down
ever so slightly for the upcoming, hefty schedule of
events that people face for the next year. The big
launch in January is January 1 (New Year's Day) with the
launch of one of the most viewed television broadcasts,
Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. In over 100
years, there's only been rain once or twice at this
event, and the locals say they have an inside track to
the keeping it sunny for the world to enjoy images they
expect to see of sunny, Southern California in the heart
of its warm, palmy winters. Country Bluegrass,
