Tournament of Roses Parade History:
The Tournament of Roses Parade has followed the same route for many decades. The day before the Parade, the entire environs of the neighborhood streets are sealed off and reserved for the massive parade marshalling of the dozens of floats and other elements. The marshalling area is referred to as the Formation Area and managed by the Formation Area Committee.
A close up of roses used to create a rose parade float.On parade morning, the parade elements are merged and dispatched. It starts by going north on South Orange Grove Boulevard, beginning at Ellis Street. At Colorado Boulevard it passes the main Television and Media stands and proceeds east. (Colorado Boulevard is Pasadena's main thoroughfare and a segment of the former US 66). The Parade turns north on Sierra Madre Boulevard. On going North, the floats must travel under the Sierra Madre Boulevard./ I-210 freeway overpass, requiring over height floats to collapse to prevent crashing into the overpass. The Parade ends at the Post Parade Area when it crosses Paloma Street.
In total, this route is 5½ miles (9 km) long; the assembled bands, horse units, and floats take approximately 2.5 hours to pass by. After the Parade an exhibition of the floats is conducted.
