Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive Los Angeles
You are scheduled to participate in the 116th Rose parade. This year's parade theme is "Celebrate Family," will take place on Saturday, January 1, 2005 at 8 AM (PST), and features majestic floral floats, high-stepping equestrian units and spirited marching bands from across the nation. The tournament boasts flowers, music, and pageantry unmatched throughout the world. MARRIOTT HOTEL

Day 2 
Los Angeles
This morning travel to Pasadena and visit the float construction barns to observe these enormous floats as they receive their finishing touches. Every inch of the floats must be covered with flowers or other natural materials, such as bark or seeds. The Rose Parade's elaborate floats have come a long way since the Tournament's early days. Today, float construction is a multi-million dollar business. Although a few floats are still handcrafted solely by volunteers, most are built by professional float building companies. Later today, return to Los Angeles for a tour of the sights. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Sunset Boulevard are included as your day of sightseeing comes to a close. MARINA DEL REY MARRIOTT HOTEL

Day 3 L
Pasadena
 
Happy New Year! Today you will return to Pasadena for the grand celebration of floats and flowers. Computerized animation has had an enormous impact on Rose Parade floats. Recently, they have featured working roller coasters, a 50-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty, a robotic chef with moving arms, a working water slide and more-all controlled by computers. But throughout all these changes, the Rose Parade has remained true to its floral beginnings, and each float is decorated with more flowers than the average florist will use in five years. After the parade, transfer to the Farmer's Market and the Grove, an immense open-air shopping district. A boxed lunch is included today. MARINA DEL REY MARRIOTT HOTEL

Day 4
Conclude Los Angeles
This morning transfer to the Los Angeles Airport and head home from this one-of-a-kind New Year’s excursion. We hope to see you again soon. Back to Top
