City officials are warning residents and visitors to keep drones grounded during the 2026 Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game, citing a comprehensive ban and a “zero tolerance” enforcement posture for New Year’s Day events expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people.
The City of Pasadena said the prohibition is part of strict federal flight restrictions put in place to protect crowds along the parade route and around the stadium.
Officials emphasized that no drones of any kind will be permitted in the airspace near and over the events.
City officials have said the restrictions apply regardless of device size, operator experience, or intended use.
Federal rules designate the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game as special security events, triggering temporary flight restrictions, known as TFR.
City officials said enforcement will be strict and immediate, with no exceptions.
