Shortly after the parade in January, the newly elected President of the Tournament of Roses has the duty of picking a theme for the forthcoming festivities. Most of the floral floats in the parade are inspired by this theme.<ref name="tor theme">[http://www.tournamentofroses.com/history/themes.asp Tournament of Roses Past Themes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516053518/http://www.tournamentofroses.com/history/themes.asp |date=2008-05-16 }}</ref>
