Visitors come to Pasadena and camp out on New Year’s Eve just to see the Tournament of Roses – Rose Parade, which starts promptly at 8 a.m on South Orange Grove, making its five-mile journey in a two hour event. But there are other opportunities to see the floats before and after the parade. To see the decorating places, advance tickets to three Pasadena locations are available through Sharp Seating Company (sharpseating.com) for $10, age 5 and under are free. Tickets may also be purchased at the venues, but sales stop when venue capacity is reached.
