Rose Bowl Parade Floats

Rose Bowl Parade Floats has become a million dollar business. Rose Bowl Parade Floats are literally started as soon as the previous year’s parade ends. Rose Bowl Parade Floats making process starts from the making of a special chassis. Over the chassis a steel and chicken wire frame work is built. This whole process is named cocooning.

The frame is painted with polyvinyl substance that is painted as flowers. It is essential that every inch of the Rose Bowl Parade Floats must be covered with flowers or other plant kingdom. The traditional Rose Bowl Parade Floats are made with the help of volunteers that come to visit these floats in Christmas Holidays. The delicate of the flowers are kept into water vials and then placed on the float.

The beginning of the Rose Bowl Parade and its floats is quite interesting. While addressing at the meeting of Valley Hunt Club, Charles F. Holder commented that in their city when one dies he is buried in snow, but our flowers are blossoming and oranges are close to bear,

so let us have a celebration to make world know about our paradise land. Professor Holder was addressing the meeting in 1889.

Rose Bowl Parade Floats were added to the festival just a few years after the first festival and marching bands were also added. The Ostrich races and other games were included and a special race between a camel and an elephant was introduced during the festival. Tournament of Roses Association was formed to handle the event as it was grown beyond the capacity of Valley Hunt Club.
