The Annual Craft Faire for the Burbank Tournament of Roses Association (Burbank Rose Float) is Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Burbank Water and Power (BWP.)

In the early morning on day of the Craft Faire, the Burbank Rose Float will also test drive of the new float, “Welcome Home,” during its first inspection for the year by Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Parade Officials.
