More information on Annual Tournament of Roses Parade

It's one of the most colorful and delightful events to watch on TV or view in person. If you are planning to be in the L.A. area for New Year's Day, be sure to order tickets for this parade. Pasadena extends a royal welcome to thousands of visitors each year who come from around the world to view the breathtaking floats covered with flower petals as they make their way down Colorado Boulevard. Many younger people prefer to obtain "free seating." They do this by staking out a place along the parade route on Colorado Boulevard, beginning New Year Eve's afternoon. Although this is sunny California, the nights can get very cold. You may want to go view the floats before or after the parade to take in their full beauty.
