The theme of this year’s Rose Parade is “Best Day Ever!” 

The 2024 Lions International float title is "Celebrating a Day of Service”

2025 Rose Parade Poster

The 2025 Pasadena Tournament of Roses theme — Best Day Ever!

“The 2025 theme celebrates life’s best moments – those unexpected times that bring a smile, warm our hearts, and fill us with joy. From a once-in-a-lifetime experience to the simplest pleasures, each is indelibly etched into our memory. Together, we celebrate where we’ve been and what we look forward to. It’s about family, friends, and community and what we have to celebrate – and to be thankful for. On New Year’s Day and throughout the year, let’s celebrate the times that make up our Best Day Ever!”

 

Lions Clubs International and the Rose Parade

20160310195032-d5e7302a.jpg

Lions first displayed a float in the 1948 Rose Parade. Since 1992 Lions Clubs International has continuously presented a float in the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. The parade is viewed by an estimated 400 million people in 85 countries around the world. The production price for the Lions float is a tiny fraction of the cost of purchasing television advertising of this magnitude. It serves as a message to the world that Lions are people who serve others.

Each year LCI's President and 1st Lady ride the float in the parade. Television commentary will once again highlight Lions' service and note the presence of these special units. There will also be four additional places on the float allowing seating for those who choose to purchase a "Ride of Your Life" Package.

About Lions Float, Inc

Since 1994 Lions Float, Inc., a non-profit corporation, has taken charge of directing preparations and funding of the annual float. This year-round activity involves float design, fundraising and organizing and directing volunteers who work on the float decorations. In many cases these volunteers are composed of youth from our Leo clubs. And each year the International President and spouse add at least a few flowers during their visit.

Lions Float Inc. History

In 1992, under the leadership of then International President Donald E. Banker of Rolling Hills CA, Lions Clubs International entered its third float in the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena and has continued every year since that time.

Two of our Lions entries (1993 & 1994) won awards for the most beautiful float in our category. The 2014 float received the Special Trophy for exceptional merit in multiple classifications. We think all of our floats are beautiful and exceptional that promote our service activities to people worldwide who watch the parade and see the float each year.

Lions Float, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was formed in 1994 to direct the preparation and funding of the Lions float in the Rose Parade. This is a year-round activity involving the designing, fundraising and coordinating of volunteer decoration of the float in December. To raise these funds, Lions Float, Inc. sells a variety of commemorative items such as banner patches, lapel pins, polo & t-shirts, jackets, tote bags, hats and offers fellowships for donations honoring PIP Banker and others.

We welcome the support of Lions all over the world in supporting and decorating the float. What a better way to promote Lionism than to be represented in this widely publicized international parade. Lions International is the largest service organization in the world. We want the world to hear us ROAR!
