The city of South Pasadena celebrates the academic and musical achievements of its youth with the oldest self-built float entry in the Rose Parade, Our Kids. The float’s historic South Pasadena buildings provide a backdrop for the city’s vibrant and talented children. Orchids, mums, gerbera daisies and irises adorn the float’s the float’s structures, which include the South Pasadena Library , the Rialto theater, Historic Route 66 and the Reds Cars of the Pacific Electric Company. The float also uses more than 1,000 pounds of seeds, bean and other dry materials to cover its structures. Cranberry seeds give the historic trolley car its vivid red color. Float riders include the South Pasadena Strings, the country’s youngest orchestra to perform at Carnegie Hall.
