45. The Martinez Family
Marshal: Benny Martinez
This is the Martinez family’s 32nd year riding in the
Rose Parade. The riders are known for their trick roping
performances at Wild West shows throughout the United
States. Riders come from a mixture of backgrounds and
trades including real estate, construction, disc jockeys, fire
fighters and more. Riders wear wide rim hats and authentic
charro suits in the style of the revolution era of the 1800s
in Mexico. Saddles are hand-stitched and feature silver
horns. The Martinez family also rides with classical
Mexican mariachi music.
