History

Since our founding in 1893 and our debut float entry in the Tournament of Roses Parade in 1911, we have proudly upheld a legacy of creativity and craftsmanship.

For over a century, we've been committed to designing and building imaginative, one-of-a-kind floats, all crafted using entirely natural materials. Our dedication to tradition and innovation continues to bring joy and wonder to parade-goers year after year.

The mission of the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Committee is to create positive exposure through active participation in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. By embracing the spirit of voluntarism, we strive to elevate both our community and organization, ensuring the successful creation of our annual floral entry and fostering pride and unity throughout South Pasadena.
