Recreating the amusement parks of the earlier 20th century, the float of the Cal Poly campuses in Pomona and San Luis Obispo depicts the era of timeless wooden rollercoasters, original carousels, boardwalks, electric bumper cars and entertaining fairway games. The theater’s Art Deco tower with starburst crown, the three-dimensional marquee and the ticketing kiosk are noted elements of the theater’s design and are recreated on the float. Adding to the tableau are the Hollywood sign, the Disney Concert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, the Griffith Park Observatory and the Watts Towers. The float reflects South Pasadena’s love of the outdoors and its focus on the family, symbolized by a young boy in his discovery of a family of musical frogs right in his own backyard.
