Each band, and of course including “The Marching 100” will perform their various award-winning field shows that helped orchestrate the group’s success and assured their inclusion in the Rose Parade field.

The smell of flowers will fill the air as the beautiful pageantry and tradition of magnificent floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands highlight this popular holiday event. Be sure to bring your camera along for this amazingly beautiful photo-op of these vivid displays of floral extravagance. Following the 129th Rose Parade, we’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and then proceed to Victory Park, where the floral and animated masterpieces are parked along Sierra Madre and Washington Boulevards for up close viewing.
