January 1st - If you're a rose living on the west coast and looking for work this weekend then have no fear, there's lots of work for roses duing the Rose Parade or the Rose Bowl -- here's your chance to be strapped daintily onto a Rose Parade float and and paraded infront of millions (approximately 425 million) of spectators from around the world. For all others, if you are around Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard in Los Angeles around New Year's this might be an event worth checking out. Some of the floats on display take a whole year to construct in a tradition that dates back to 1890. Throw in a football game and some crazy beats from the 24 marching bands that regularly show up and you have yourself a party.
