Know Your Facts \u2013 A South Pasadena Tradition for Over 130 Years\n<\/p>\n

The City of South Pasadena has the longest-running self-built float in the Rose Parade.\n<\/p>\n

The all-volunteer organization, the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses (SPTOR), has been constructing and decorating their own entries since 1893.\n<\/p>\n

Key details about the South Pasadena float:\n<\/p>\n

Oldest Entry: It is the oldest continuous float entry of any kind in the parade, including both commercial and self-built floats.\n<\/p>\n

Volunteer Effort: The float is entirely designed, funded, built, and decorated by volunteers, relying on community fundraising and dedication.\n<\/p>\n

Community Tradition: The annual construction is a significant community event, involving hundreds of resident & family volunteers each year.\n<\/p>\n

One of Few: South Pasadena is one of only six remaining \u201cself-built\u201d entries in the parade, which compete against professionally constructed, large-budget commercial floats. The other self-built associations are from Burbank, Downey, La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge, Sierra Madre, and the Cal Poly Universities.<\/p>\n
