It's the pagentry and the tradition of New Year's Day, followed by the Granddaddy football game of the them all. It's the Tournament of Roses Parade! Whether you are planning to attend just the Rose Parade or are a football fan and will also be attending the Rose Bowl and Parade, the day is filled with moments and memories to last a lifetime. 

The theme of the 2027 Tournament of Roses Parade is "Welcome", and I can't think of a more appropriate name for the parade that truly welcomes everyone. Marching bands from four countries will participate, joining the celebration from as far away as Kyoto, Japan. The atmosphere throughout the Parade is an inclusive celebration of cultures, music, and art from the exquisitely designed parade floats, to the beauty and elegance of the performers. 

See the floats being decorated, or decorate one yourself! 

You've traveled all the way to California, and you won't want to miss anything happening during the lead up to the Tournament of Roses

It’s a new year, and was time for a new adventure. So, I packed my bags and headed of to the Tournament of Roses Parade!

Since I founded the company nearly 20 years ago, I’ve been to a lot of events. What struck me was throughout the entire Sports Traveler Rose Parade Tour, I felt consistently happy and impressed. The warm weather, the beautiful scenery of Southern California, and the Parade Day itself made for an event to remember forever.

Marina del Rey - The True California

I started off by welcoming our guests to the Hotel MdR Doubletree in Marina Del Rey, California hotel I handpicked because I love this little beachfront community. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, just south of the famous Venice Beach, and right next to the famous marina filled with all the big boats and yachts you can only dream of, this area is the True California.

The Hotel MdR has that 'California Cool' vibe that you feel the minute you enter the lobby. The pool sits in the center courtyard and has

Are you a soccer fan?  Well I guess most soccer fans around the world refer to it as football but to save confusion I'll just stick with calling it soccer.  Besides, its pretty clear that there is only one sport of football in this country.  Anyways, if you are a soccer fan then you should know all about the Gold Cup.  If you don't know about the Gold Cup then you might need to re-commit your fan-hood and get with the program.  The Gold Cup is a very popular event and crucial in determining the best team in North America.

The Cotton Bowl Classic has been a staple of the bowl series since the first annual game in 1937.  On January 6, 2012 this prestigious bowl will return to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX for the third time.  Last year's Cotton Bowl featured a great match-up between the LSU Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies.  In the end LSU prevailed 41-24 but it was an exciting game throughout.
