There will not be a Rose Parade on New Year’s Day but there will be a Rose Parade New Year Celebration.
The event will be televised from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST, Friday, Jan. 1, 2021, on ABC, NBC and the Hallmark Channel.
According to the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, the “reimagined New Year celebration” will include “live-to-tape musical and marching band performances, heartwarming segments about the Rose Parade, celebrity guest appearances and more.”
Roses are red, violets are blue, New Year’s celebrations are going virtual too.
It’s finally time to kiss 2020 goodbye and ring in 2021. And just as the COVID-19 pandemic will continue in the new year, so too will televised workarounds for major holiday events, such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” and, on Friday, Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses.
Instead of the typical 5-mile-plus parade route involving hundreds of volunteers and thousands of spectators, the 2021 Rose Parade will be a smaller, “reimagined New Year’s celebration,” featuring celebrity appearances, musical performances, football highlights and “spectacular floats from years past.”
