The 124th Rose Parade will be held on New Years Day, and it begins promptly at 8:00 am in Pasadena, CA. This parade always amazes me, and the incredible detail which goes into the floats, and the creativity is incredible. I have attended in years past, and remember it being very cold, but very fun!!!
