The Downey Rose Float Association presents its entry in the 2027 Tournament of Roses Parade presented by Honda titled"Farmers Market",
original concept by Marcus Pollitz. The final creative design and rendering of Downey's entry is by Dave Pittman.

The Downey Rose Float Association is one of six floats classified as "Self-built", which relies solely on volunteers to design, construct and decorate these floats, also known as "legacy floats".
