Guide, including lineup of parade entries, for the 1996 Tournament of Roses Parade. This was obtained from the Los Angeles Times, and I am including here because I want to be able to identify the units I photographed. I will post those photos in the next entries.

JAN. 1, 1996 12 AM PT
WHERE TO PARK
WHEN: Begins at 8 a.m. on South Orange Grove Avenue and runs about two hours. The Rose Bowl game begins at 2 p.m.
PARKING: Spectators wishing to park within a reasonable walking distance should arrive by about 6:30 a.m., police say. It is helpful to know in advance where you plan to sit. Overnight parking is permitted beginning at noon on Sunday. However, all “No Parking” areas and red curb zones remain off limits. Any vehicle in violation will be towed immediately and be subject to a fine. Police suggest that parade watchers who also plan to attend the game park nearer the Rose Bowl and walk to the parade route. Those planning to leave immediately after the parade should park on the side of the parade nearest their destination. Reserved parking is available through Ace Parking (818) 792-1218, Sharp Seating Co. (818) 795-4171 and Easy Parking Service (818) 286-7576. RV camping is available in the Rose Bowl parking lot.
SEATING: Curbside viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at noon Sunday. Bleachers take up most of the area by the corner South Orange Grove Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard, so curbside spectators are advised to aim for Old Pasadena and farther east the later they arrive. The north side of the boulevard gets more sunlight and is usually warmer. There will be 257 portable toilets along the route. For information on reserved grandstand seats, call Sharp Seating at (818) 795-4171 and Marsden Bros. at (310) 394-6639.
PARADE VIEWING FOR THE DISABLED: For information on viewing from Pasadena Plaza, call (818) 795-1349. For information on a viewing site at 1485 E. Colorado Boulevard, call (818) 795-4171. For general information, call (818) 405-4216.
PARADE RULES: Those wishing to sit curbside may save only the space they occupy. Tents are not allowed and areas cannot be roped off. Police say those with liquor or found throwing objects on the route will be cited.
THE ROUTE: The 5.5-mile parade route begins at South Orange Grove Boulevard and Green Street, turning east on Colorado Boulevard and north on Sierra Madre Boulevard and finally Paloma Street.
