Floatfest: A Rose Parade FESTIVAL
Floatfest: A Rose Parade Festival features a 1-mile showcase of Rose Parade floats following their appearance along the parade route, plus live entertainment, gourmet food trucks, the Rose Petal Bar, family friendly activities and more. Each year, nearly 70,000 visitors head to Sierra Madre and Washington Boulevards in Pasadena for the chance to walk within a few feet of the floats and appreciate, up close, the creativity and detail of each magnificent display.
