Fiesta Parade Floats, who has worked with the Tournament of Roses for more than four decades, was dropped after they failed to reach a certain set of criteria.
An award-winning float builder was dropped by the Tournament of Roses on Monday after they failed to stand up to the set of standards expected of the New Year's Day competitors. Fiesta Parade Floats, which is one of just three approved commercial float builders, will not be participating in the 2025 Rose Parade after the association's announcement.
David Eads, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses CEO, says that it was a difficult decision to make after working with the company for more than 40 years. 'We have float builder criteria that are required of all of our commercial builders,' Eads said. 'Fiesta was no longer in compliance with our criteria for commercial builders.'Some of that criteria includes having the financial capacity to continue creating floats, which Lofthouse says has been a challenge for all of the companies.
