Seal

The word Pasadena literally means “valley” in the Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indian language, but it has been interpreted to mean “Crown of the Valley” and “Key of the Valley,” hence the adoption of both the crown and the key in the official City Seal.

Rose Parade

The (Pasadena) Tournament of Roses, also known as the "Rose Parade" also has its own flag:

"The Rose Parade, also known as the Tournament of Roses Parade, is part of "America's New Year Celebration" held in Pasadena, California each year on New Year's Day (or on Monday, January 2 if New Year's Day falls on a Sunday). The parade includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units and is followed by the Rose Bowl (college football) Game (official website: https://www.tournamentofroses.com/rose-bowl). It is produced by the nonprofit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. Originally started on January 1, 1890. The Rose Bowl is a college football game that was added in 1902 to help fund the cost of staging the parade"
