Tournament of Roses Theme History

Each year, the new President of the Tournament of Roses has the privilege of selecting a theme for the upcoming festivities. The theme is used to inspire the ideas for the magnificent floral floats that will appear in the Rose Parade.
The theme for the 2013 Rose Parade is Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
