Rose Palace

The Rose Palace, also known as the Pasadena Rose Palace, is a building located at 835 South Raymond Avenue in the city of Pasadena, California. It was built by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association in 1964.

The primary use of The Rose Palace had always been for the construction of floats for the Tournament of Roses Parade, which is held every New Year’s Day in the city of Pasadena. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, through the months of January to September, the Rose Palace was used for other functions besides annual float construction. Most notable was that of a rock concert venue.
