1957, TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE & CLIPS FROM THE GAME

This is an amateur film of the 68th Tournament of Roses Parade in 1957. The 39th Rose Parade Queen is Ann Mossberg. The theme this year is "Famous Firsts". The theme prize winner was the Long Beach; South Pasadena "Dragon".
A vast difference between parades of that era versus today are the religiously themed floats.

From the "Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation"
In 1956, the Phoenix Junior Chamber of Commerce commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a float for the 1957 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Wright was tasked with creating something that fit that year’s theme of “famous firsts.” In his design, formally titled “Valley of the Sun,” Wright depicted Phoenix as “First in Sunshine.”
