How old is the Rose Parade?
The Rose Parade started in 1890, when Valley Hunt Club members decided to add a parade to decorate carriages with flowers blooming in the middle of winter. There was probably a little gloating in there.
“In New York, people are buried in snow,” said Professor Charles F. Holder at the time. “Here, our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let’s hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise.”
What’s the theme of the 2024 Rose Parade?
The 2024 theme of the Rose Parade will be Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language.
“The 2024 theme brings us together through music. In a world of different cultures, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, one language unites us all — music,” said Alex Aghajanian, president of the 2024 Tournament of Roses.
“The sound, texture, rhythm, form, harmony, and expression meld together to move, soothe, excite and delight the world. From bossa nova to blues, classical to country, metal to mariachi and rock to rap, thousands of genres invite us to become one in celebrating a world of music. Whether near or far, young or old, we invite you to yearlong festivities that culminate on New Year’s Day at the Rose Parade. Let the music begin!”

Rose Parade trivia
In 1895, the Tournament of Roses Association was formed to take charge of the festival, which had grown too large for the Valley Hunt Club to handle.
1920 marked the end of the horse-drawn era. Motor-driven floats took over completely.
Soon after the festival started in 1890, games on the town lot — which was re-named Tournament Park in 1900 — included ostrich races, bronco busting demonstrations and a race between a camel and an elephant (the elephant won).
First Tournament of Roses football game, which was the first post-season football game in the nation, was staged at Tournament Park on Jan. 1, 1902.
The Rose Parade is rescheduled to the next day if Jan. 1 falls on a Sunday, in keeping with the tournament’s “Never on Sunday” tradition kept since 1893, the first year the Rose Parade fell on a Sunday, according to Visit Pasadena.
