1/01/2010 - 1/01/2010Rose Parade
Pasadena,
United States
The annual Rose Parade is a procession followed by a college football game which has become a proud Pasadena tradition that dates back to 1890. Starting on Ellis Street early in the morning, a colourful procession made up of marching bands, dancers and decorated floats makes its way through the city, cheered on by huge crowds. Held on New Year's Day, the spectacle has become a popular New Year tradition that now attracts in excess of a million visitors each year. The event is the build up to the Rose Bowl college football game, which takes place in the afternoon. The game is known as 'The Granddaddy of Them All' as it is one of the oldest games of its kind in the US.
