Happy New Year! We kick off our first day of 2025 with the most exciting part of our trip – the Tournament of Roses Parade. Enjoy reserved seating as we take in the fun, flowers, and music at this grand event, exclusive to the streets of Pasadena. To commemorate our time at the parade, we receive a souvenir seat cushion and program describing the floats, bands, and equestrian units. Following a boxed lunch, we return to our hotel for free time to relax in the pool or watch football games, such as the Cotton Bowl, Citrus Bowl, and famed Rose Bowl! You may also choose to pursue other interests on your own, including attending the Rose Bowl independently. (Guests are responsible for purchasing their own tickets and arranging transportation to this game.)
