Rose Parade

Rose Parade boasts floral floats, sunny skies

Floral floats, marching bands and equestrian units took to the streets under a sunny California sky as the 135th Rose Parade drew hundreds of thousands of spectators on New Year's Day.

The Pasadena tradition on Jan. 1 featured Broadway legend Audra McDonald as grand marshal and the theme "Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language."
