The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is a celebration more than a century old – a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere else in the world. It’s America’s New Year Celebration, a greeting to the first day of the year, and a salute to the community spirit and love of pageantry that have thrived in Pasadena for more than 130 years.

Unpack once and enjoy a five-night stay in beautiful Orange County in Southern California. The tour features Orange County’s most famous sights and beach towns, including a visit the beautiful Mission San Juan Capistrano, one of the original missions built by the Spanish. Later head up Highway 1 for spectacular coastal views and visits to Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. That evening ring in the New Year with a New Year’s Eve Dinner Party that will be filled with music, dancing and Monte Carlo casino-style games. Ring in the New Year with a champagne toast!
