Rose Parade

Breaking news that’s not news to us: Tournament of Roses President Terry Madigan has been named the 2026 IFEA Volunteer of the Year. 🌹

To everyone who has worked alongside him, it comes as no surprise.

Terry has volunteered with the Tournament of Roses since 1993 and served on more committees than we can count.

His generosity, warmth and care for every volunteer and guest have shaped what New Year’s Day in Pasadena feels like.

This January, he leads the 138th Rose Parade and the 113th Rose Bowl Game.

Congratulations, Terry! We’ve always known how lucky we are, and we’re so glad the world knows it too.

✨Get to know Terry and the heart behind his service. ✨

Join Remo Inc. and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on Saturday, October 10, in celebration of World Mental Health Day for a three-part experiential workshop exploring the healing power of music led by the internationally recognized Rythm & Wellness Program.

From 2-4 p.m., discover how music shapes our health and well-being, why it matters in education, and then from 4-5 p.m. join our community drum circle.

Come ready to participate — this is a hands-on experience, not a lecture.
