This untitled, color, silent home-style film documents the 62nd Annual Tournament of Roses parade (Rose Parade) and the 37th Annual Rose Bowl Game held on 1 January 1951 in Pasadena, CA. The film shows the floats, bands, and horses featured in the annual parade with its 1951 theme “Joyful Living” in addition to the Rose Bowl Game between the ninth-ranked Michigan Wolverines, champions of the Big Ten Conference, and the California Golden Bears, champions of the Pacific Coast Conference. Michigan ultimately beat the California Golden Bears 14–6.

Pasadena, a city in California, northeast of downtown Los Angeles, has been home to the famous Tournament of Roses parade since its first edition in 1890. The parade was brought about to highlight the flowers in bloom during Southern California’s winter while the rest of the United States was “under snow.” The Rose Parade is produced by the non-profit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association and includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units. The parade is followed in the afternoon by the Rose Bowl, one of the major bowl games in college football. First held on January 1, 1890, the Rose Parade is watched in person by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the parade route, and is broadcast on multiple television networks in the United States.
