Hundreds of thousands of people stream into Pasadena every year to see the Tournament of Roses Parade in person. An estimated 70 million people around the world watch it on video. What is so enticing about this parade, that began in 1890 as a way to promote local real estate? The pageantry, the flowers, and the excitement of an event that might be once-in-a-lifetime for some, and an annual outing for others. Equestrians, bands from all over the world, a Royal Court with seven exceptional young women, and of course, flower-covered floats combine tradition and cutting-edge technology. It is a truly unique adventure.
