Cal Poly’s Rose Parade float is getting its finishing touches before the big day next week. The float depicts a lakeside party featuring the Loch Ness monster, a highland cow and a slew of other Scottish-inspired characters in honor of the 2025 parade theme, “Best Day Ever.” The float has been a year in the making. Students from Cal Poly SLO and Cal Poly Pomona have been working together on the 55-foot-long float. The 136th Rose Parade begins at 8 a.m. New Years Day.
