The
Rose Parade, also known as the
Tournament of Roses and the
Rose Parade presented by Honda, is part of "America's New Year Celebration" held in
Pasadena, California each year on
New Year's Day (or on Monday, January 2 if New Year's Day falls on a Sunday). The parade includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units and is followed by the
Rose Bowl college football game. It is produced by the nonprofit
Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.
