Each New Year’s Day, the world focuses its attention on the city of Pasadena, home of the Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl Game. It’s a celebration that’s more than a century old - a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere in the world. Pasadena’s 123rd annual tournament of Roses Parade will be making its way down Colorado Boulevard in grand style on January 2, 2012! We’ll have grandstand seats on Colorado Boulevard for the ultimate in up-close viewing during the entire parade. It’s a sensory event you won’t want to miss. See the giant floral floats, smell the aroma of the millions of roses and other flowers, and hear the marching bands filling the air with their robust sounds! Don’t worry sports fans, we should have you back home in time to see the Rose Bowl game on television. Seat are limited, so be sure to make your reservations early!
