Each year as the floats, bands and equestrian units featured in the Rose Parade make their way down the parade route they must go under the I-210 overpass to get to the end of the parade. In order to do so many of the floats are designed to be around 16 feet tall so that they can easily go under the freeway.
Floats that exceed this height must find creative solutions to still be able to go under the overpass.
It’s a unique viewing opportunity you won’t see on TV, that has many locals choosing to scout out spots along this portion of the parade route to see how the floats find fun solutions to get under the freeway, with an added bonus of being closer to Floatfest once the parade is over to be among the first to see the floats up close.
