America’s most iconic ship will participate in America’s most iconic parade January 1, 2020 in Pasadena, California.

MAYFLOWER will set sail in 2020 by floating in the Tournament of Roses®  Parade in Pasadena, California, on New Year’s Day,  thanks to the efforts of the California Mayflower Society.

Mayflower II is an exact replica of that famous ship and the story behind its creation is the topic of a new best selling book, The Wicked Pilgrim by Randal Charlton.
