“Find Your Adventure” will be the theme of the 2016 Rose Parade.

The theme was announced by Mike Matthiessen, who was confirmed Thursday as the 2015-16 president of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

“This theme has grown out of a unique relationship between the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and the U.S. National Park Service,” Matthiessen said. “The 2016 Rose Parade will help shine light on the centennial celebration of our nation’s national parks.

“As proponents of the American spirit, we encourage people to find beauty in the landscape that builds the backdrop of their lives,” he said. “From coast to coast, we will add stories of adventure to our collection while protecting our unique heritage and looking to the future.”

Matthiessen, general manager of Space Bank in Pasadena, has been a volunteer with the Tournament of Roses since 1979.
