A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Over a few days just before the annual Pasadena Rose Parade, thousands of workers put those elaborate floral creations together by hand, gluing and sticking on whole flowers, petals, and all kinds of other natural materials.
A million or more people turn out every New Year’s Day along Pasadena’s Colorado Boulevard. Some of them camp out on the sidewalks overnight. Others get up in the wee hours to get there. They all crowd along the street to watch dozens of flower-filled floats, bands, and equestrian groups in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade.
