Each New Year's Day, the world focuses its attention on Pasadena, California, U.S.A., home of the Rose Parade® and Rose Bowl Game®. It's a celebration more than a century old--a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere in the world. The Tournament is more than just a parade and football game. 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 a century.
