This is my electronic photo album on the 2013 Tournament of Roses (Rose Bowl) Parade in Pasadena, California. The theme for the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade was "Oh, the places you'll go!".
The Rose Parade is "America's New Year Celebration". It is a festival of flower-covered floats, marching bands, equestrians and the Rose Bowl college football game on New Year's Day. Originally started on January 1, 1890, the Rose Parade is watched in person by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the parade route and is broadcast in multiple television networks in the United States. It is seen by millions on television in the US and worldwide in more than 200 countries.
The 2013 Rose Parade was held on Monday, January 2, 2013 because New Year's Day fell on a Sunday.
The Department of Defense' float commemorating the 60th Anniversary of
the Korean War. The theme is "Freedom Is Not Free" and pays tribute to
Korean War veterans. This float won the National Trophy for best
depiction of life in the United States, past present or future.
Kaiser Permanente Hospital's float "Oh The Healthy Things You Can Do". This float won the best presentation of the 2013 Rose Parade theme.
Thank you for visiting my photo blog. There are so many California tourist attractions, it’s hard to know where to begin. From Sea World-San Diego in the south to majestic Mt. Shasta near its northern border, California is without a doubt a vacationer’s paradise. I hope that my photos have given you a glimpse of the immense beauty and wonder of the Golden State.
