PASADENA, Calif. (KGTV) -- Millions of people are looking forward to watching as flower-covered floats march down the streets of Pasadena, California in the 2018 Rose Parade.

One of the floats in this year’s parade is The UPS Store’s “Books Bring Dreams to Life.” The float is meant to promote literacy, according to UPS.

The float goes all out and will feature a sea monster that sways from side to side as smoke blows from her nostrils.
