Photo Gallery: 2015 Rose Parade floats

The 126th Rose Parade kicked off with the Glendale High dance team appearing before millions of TV viewers across the country and abroad as they danced to the beat of Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” and Belinda Carlisle’s “We Got the Beat” as part of the parade’s opening show on New Year’s Day. Shortly after they danced, the family of Louis Zamperini headed down the 5.5-mile parade route into the heart of Pasadena to represent the World War II veteran who passed away in July at age 97.In all, there were 39 float entries in this year’s parade, all under the theme “Inspiring Stories.”
