welcome to New Mexico

New Mexico Tourism Department Joins
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade®

Viewed by each New Year’s Day by millions of people every year, the Tournament of Roses® Parade in Pasadena, California, is one of the most beloved New Year celebrations in America and worldwide. Each year, the Tournament of Roses committee presents a new theme that serves as a starting point for the spectacular floats that make their way down the five-mile parade route. Floats are presented by communities, corporations and, for the past three years, the State of New Mexico.

Award winners in two of the last three years, New Mexico’s floats capture the beauty and spirit of New Mexico and provide a vehicle for the people of New Mexico to wish the country and the world a very Happy New Year. We hope that New Mexico will join the parade for many years to come.

Below are links to New Mexico’s floats...
