The rain didn’t dampen spirits or deter spectators from enjoying the 137th Annual Rose Parade in Pasadena this year. Meridian was on hand with more than 800 barriers and beam gates, delivering a strong, visible security presence that helped keep the parade route, command center, Rose Bowl Game, and Float Fest safe and secure. Bravo to everyone involved in creating a truly “magical” event this year. Leeza Gibbons Rose Parade Rose Bowl Game Tournament of Roses

The holiday season is in full swing, and it’s one of our busiest times of the year. From tree lightings to parades and festive community gatherings, we’re proud to help keep hundreds of celebrations across the US safe for everyone. Here is a great shot from the Catch the Glow parade in Estes Park Colorado, which features illuminated floats, caroling, and tree lighting to kick off the winter season.
