Norwich celebrated its tercentenary in 1959 with a two-week event, including a grand parade. This was so successful that it was used as a blueprint for the first Rose Arts Festival in 1965. The float is from the City of Norwich Parks Division. In the background is the Disco Building, which today houses the Eastern Connecticut Savings & Loan.
