Tournament of Roses
New Year's floats
The Tournament of Roses is an annual New Year's Day celebration in Pasadena, California, featuring a parade of elaborate flower-covered floats followed by a college football game (the Rose Bowl).
First held in 1890, it draws massive crowds and television audiences: We watched the Tournament of Roses parade before the game.
