You can always count on Rose Bowl Stadium, and its mountain-backed-oh-so-picturesque setting, to boast a little thrilling drama.
That drama could arrive in the form of a nail-biting toss of the football, seconds before the end of a game, or the fabulous final touches being applied to a Rose Parade float.
Or you could get a flurry of feelings from finding the perfect lamp at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, or meeting a cute canine at the Wiggle Waggle Walk, or even encountering a dinosaur outside your car window.

"Since its beginnings, this wonderful series has shown a unique ability to transport audiences to those magical summers when movies were experienced outdoors and on the big screen."
