About this Event

Hollywood Experience & Rose Parade Float Viewing Tour

Get up close and personal with the magic of the Rose Parade before it airs on TV!

Be part of the excitement and creativity that powers the world-famous Rose Parade. Join us for an exclusive experience as we explore the final stages of float construction at both the Rosemont and Brookside construction barns. Witness thousands of flowers, seeds, bark, grasses, fruits, and natural materials being delicately applied by dedicated volunteers and expert float designers. This is a truly immersive and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the behind-the-scenes magic before the big New Year’s Day reveal.

Your journey continues with a Hollywood-style experience, featuring iconic Los Angeles landmarks along the way. Enjoy a comfortable motor coach ride and be inspired by creativity, color, and California spirit.

Lunch will be on your own at a location with various food options.
