The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is an annual tradition to kick off the New Year. The parade began in the 1890s as a way for Californians to celebrate the beautiful weather and abundance of flowers available even in the middle of winter. Today, it is held in conjunction with the Rose Bowl college football game.
The parade features marching bands, motorized floats, and dozens of equestrian acts every year. Included in this year’s equestrian events are:

This year’s parade takes place on Monday, Jan. 2 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time (11 a.m. Eastern). The parade will be broadcast live on HGTV, RFD-TV and The Hallmark Channel. NBC will air the Rose Parade at 11 a.m. in all time zones.
The parade will also be broadcast locally in Los Angeles on KTLA5 and Univision 34. For more information, click here.

My favorite is always the Valley Hunt Club and their beautiful Friesians.
