2019 Rotary Rose Parade Float
Rotary Rocks!
As you watch the 2019 Tournament of Roses, Rose Parade
on New Year’s Day, be on the lookout for the Rotary Rose
Parade float – “Rotary Rocks!” The theme for the 2019
parade is “The Melody of Life.”
Appearing in the parade for its 40th consecutive year, the
mission of the Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee is to
promote Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation.
As the Rose Parade is viewed by over 73 million individuals
world-wide and a live audience of almost 1 million, the
Rotary float is sure to increase public awareness! Rotary
float riders and walkers accompany the float and yell to
the crowd “Happy New Year from Rotary!” thus adding to
the excitement and drawing additional attention to Rotary,
The annual Rotary Rose Parade float is made possible by
donations from Rotary districts, clubs and individuals as
well as corporate and individual sponsors.
