Completed floats were transported from Irwindale to Pasadena early Sunday afternoon ahead of the actual parade, which begins Monday morning at 8 a.m.
Just hours remain until the world's most famous parade returns to Pasadena, when thousands of fans will flood the streets to witness the 134th occurrence of the Rose Parade.
However, Sunday did mark judgment day for the massive and elaborate floats, every square inch of which is covered in all natural materials that include flowers, leaves, seeds or bark. "It's one of the days that we live for all year long," said Fiesta Parade Floats' Stefan Pollack, who noted that the renowned float creators actually decreased the amount of entries this year due to inflation concerns."We did that on purpose, we wanted to make sure that we could maintain quality."
