LCFTRA is kicking off its annual campaign to raise funds for our entry in the 138th Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1, 2027.

We had a fantastic 2026 float entry, winning the Mayor’s Award. We hope to maintain our winning streak in 2027 with our first all-electric float, “EVeryone is EVited.” Thank you to our generous sponsors who made this dream a reality- the City of La Canada Flintridge, Hydraulics Controls, and the Air Quality Management District. 

Due to the high cost of building floats, there are only six self-built floats left in the parade. We are 100% financed by voluntary donations from individuals and businesses. We work to reach out to mentor youth and teach design, building, welding, floral decor, and teamwork skills. All of our labor is donated as well. Our non-commercial float is dedicated purely to educate and entertain.

Please help us make our fundraising goal for our 2027 float  in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, the theme of which is “Welcome.” We welcome you to contribute to our campaign, come by the float yard on Saturdays and help out, and decorate the float from December 26-Jan 1 under the bridge. Please also become a member for access to our newsletter and advanced deco week sign ups. 

All donors are recognized in our materials and on our website, and invited to the December Patron Recognition Reception on December 28th at 4:00 pm.  In addition, donors from the Copper Mum level upwards receive tickets to our annual gala, Wine and Roses on November 14, 2026.
