The Tournament of Roses
The Tournament of RosesOver the years they added the marching bands and floats. After this, they decided to call it the tournament of roses. During the first parade, there were tons of roses in horse drawn carriages and people played games such as tug-of-war, and foot races.
So they decided to throw a festival to show off their little piece of paradise. They discussed how New York is covered in snow in the winter and that's when their flowers are fully bloomed. History The parade began with the Valley Hunt Club in Pasadena. For something that has been going on for that long one must wonder how this event came to be. This upcoming New Year, the tournament of roses will be in its 122nd year.
This event is held in Pasadena, California. The rose bowl, a college football game, also follows the parade. This is where people can see beautiful floats made of the roses in such intricate designs it is hard to tell that they are really flowers. The tournament of roses is an annual event that marks the New Year.
