Tour Overview
You can leave your rose-colored glasses at home when you pack your bags for America’s favorite New Year’s celebration.

The celebration continues New Year’s Day at Pasadena’s famous Tournament of Roses Parade where you’ll enjoy reserved grandstand seats, an official commemorative program, and prime viewing of the spectacular floral floats and marching bands from around the world.
