1895
The Parade had become too big for the Valley Hunt Club to handle alone. At a public meeting the Tournament of Roses Association is formed to produce the annual New Year's Day festival. A public subscription campaign raised $595 to underwrite expenses of the 1896 Rose Parade.

The first of nine times it rains on the Parade. Other years include 1899, 1906, 1910, 1916, 1922, 1934, 1937, and 1955.

1898
First East Coast media coverage of the Rose Parade. Several large eastern newspapers came west for the Parade for the first time.

1899
A rainstorm delays the start of the Rose Parade to 3:45 p.m. This was the second of nine times that it rained on the Parade. The Parade has never been canceled due to rain. Parade held on Jan. 2.
