The Tournament of Roses Parade will start tomorrow, January 2nd at 8:00PST in Pasadena, California. It usually occurs on January 1st unless the first is a Sunday, as it is this year. The tradition of never on Sunday began when the committee thought the parade would frighten the horses/wagons that carried people to churches. The parade was originated by Pasadena’s Valley Hunt Club in 1890, to show the beautiful land, weather, and flowers of that area. It grew too big for the small club and in 1895, the Tournament of Roses Association took over the festivities. In the beginning they held chariot races, other competitions, and many horse drawn carts were decorated with roses and many other forms of vegetation. Today there are many different species of flowers and more from all over the world.
