Staged every year since 1890, the parade has grown
from a local Pasadena institution to a national treasure rivaling
the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square. This year's
theme was "Music, Music, Music," and the 2005 parade
celebrated music as a universal language with grand marshal
John Williams, composer of movie scores for "Harry Potter"
and "Star Wars," presiding over the botanical splendor.
However, it's the spectacular floats made exclusively from
petals, seeds, roots and other natural materials that make
this moving spectacle a sight to see.
While many folks sleep off their New Year's Eve revels,
parade fans have already been ensconced for hours along
the route. The parade starts at Ellis Street and Orange
Grove Boulevard, then slowly progresses up to Colorado Boulevard.
The five-and-a-half mile route winds to a close as it turns
north on Sierra Madre Boulevard and ends at Villa.
