This year’s 121st Rose Parade Tournament lasting just under three hours and theme was “2010: A Cut Above the Rest.”

Many camped on the streets prior to the parade to make they had a perfect spot to watch the whole parade. News reports stated that people even began camping as early as New Years Eve, instead of celebrating with their families in their homes.
