Marco Polo | East Meets West // Singpoli // Sweepstakes Trophy
Every January 1st the Pasadena Tournament of Roses hosts a parade down Colorado Boulevard. Bands come from all over the world to play and antique cars drive down the road. However, the most amazing part of this spectacular event are the floats. Designed by cities and corporations, these enormous floats are equipped with animatronics, music and of course flowers. What is truly amazing is that every inch of the float must be covered with organic fiber whether that be flowers, seeds, fruit peels or leaves. This year 44 floats participated in the 127th Rose Parade with the theme being “Find Your Adventure.” Feeling adventurous? You can go see these floats in person!
