California knows how to party, folks.

The Nittany Lions have touched down in Pasadena and are enjoying some fun in the sun ahead of their matchup against Utah on January 2, 2023, at Rose Bowl Stadium in “The Granddaddy of Them All.” As Penn State football headed west for its fifth appearance in the Rose Bowl, so did fans from across the country.

Whether you’ll be cheering on the Nittany Lions from Rose Bowl Stadium or from the comfort of your home, you could probably use some tunes. We’ve created a playlist comprised of only the best songs to help you get into that golden state of mind.

From “California Love” by 2Pac to “Malibu” by Miley Cyrus, this playlist is sure to help you dream of the West Coast. Or, help pass the time on the last leg of your Onward State-approved road trip.

So crank up this playlist, soak up the California sun, and don’t forget to wear white. Happy listening!
