News provided by Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Association
Beginning Thursday, May 5, 2022, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Association will, once again, open its doors to the public. House Tours have been on hold for more than two years, and the Association is looking forward to welcoming the community back to Tournament House.
Throughout the tour, you will learn the history of the house and hear interesting facts about the Rose Parade® and Rose Bowl Game®. Led by volunteer Members of the Heritage Committee, one-hour tours are offered at no cost every Thursday at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. through August 4, 2022. At this time, masks are required for all public House Tours, regardless of vaccination status.
Located in Pasadena, the house was once home to chewing gum mogul William Wrigley Jr. and his wife Ada. Upon Ada’s death in 1958, the Wrigley family presented the property to the city of Pasadena with the request that it become the base of operations for the Tournament of Roses. Since then, the house has served as headquarters for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game.
What is the Tournament of Roses without our beautiful roses! Surrounding Tournament House is the Wrigley Gardens, which spans four and a half acres and features more than 1,500 varieties of roses, camellias and annuals. The building, the grounds and the gardens are beautifully maintained and are well worth the visit.
Reservations are not required, and guests are asked to arrive ten minutes prior to start time. For groups of ten or more, please call 626-449-4100 or email membership@tournamentofroses.com.
