PSR had a team responding specifically for parade needs during the Starlight Parade. We worked alongside firefighters responding to medical calls. Thanks to everyone who said hello and asked questions. Happy Rose Festival, everyone!

Please do not call 911 to report fireworks use. It is very important that our 911 system be kept for reporting only active fires and serious medical problems. Your cooperation with this will save lives.

It’s getting hot out there, so stay cool and hydrated at one of our temporary cooling stations that provide drinking water and refreshing mist!
