The 129th Rose Parade presented by Honda will be held on January 1, 2018, in Pasadena, California. A festival of flowers, music, and sports unequaled anywhere else in the world. It’s America’s New Year Celebration, a greeting to the world on the first day of the year, and a salute to the community spirit and love of pageantry that have thrived in Pasadena for more than 100 years.
An event as large as the Tournament of Roses requires about 80,000 hours of combined manpower each year. That manpower is supplied by 935 members of the non-profit Tournament of Roses Association, a volunteer organization dedicated to presenting an internationally-recognized New Year’s celebration. Each volunteer is assigned to one of 31 committees, with responsibilities ranging from selecting parade participants to directing visitors on New Year’s Day, to hosting the press headquarters for media coverage of the Rose Bowl Game, to giving presentations about the Tournament to community groups.
RFD-TV and AgPhD have teamed up to produce the “Salute to Farmers” float that will be featured in this year’s parade.
And don’t miss our live programming for New Year’s Day, featuring complete coverage of the Rose Parade and more!
