Volunteers in California prepare for the 133rd anniversary of the Rose Parade
The preparations are in the final stretch for 43 floats that will participate in the 2022 parade, which was canceled in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aida Bueno, a volunteer from Pico Rivera, California, said it's been incredible to watch the floats come to life."It looks kind of plain and ugly in the beginning, but once you start adding everything from lentils to rice to onion seeds to pumpkin seeds to roses, it makes it literally look like art and it's beautiful," she said.
This year marks the 133rd anniversary of the Rose Parade, which takes a 5.5-mile route from Green Street and Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena and ends at Villa Street. The parade precedes the Rose Bowl Game, which features a traditional matchup of football teams from the Big Ten and the Pac-12 collegiate athletic conferences.
