This is not the first appearance of an Enterprise at the Rose Parade. In 1991, for Star Trek’s 25th Anniversary, the Enterprise D and its shuttles adorned a giant float built and sponsored by Nestle.

    Beautiful float. I could probably do without Michael Bay’s version of Bumblebee though. Otherwise, very impressive.
