Rose Parade 2026: Performers, Floats, & Marching Bands List Revealed
New Year’s Day is always a special day after a night celebrating the New Year, and there’s always a very special televised parade: the 2026 Rose Parade!
This year, the 2026 Pasadena Tournament of Roses announced that the theme is “The Magic in Teamwork.”
The Tournament of Roses says the theme “celebrates the sense of accomplishment in knowing that by working together, we can collectively achieve outcomes so much richer than we can ever experience as individuals.”
We have gathered a list of all of the floats and displays, plus the list of celebrity performers and marching bands you’ll see during the event!
The Parade is airing on both NBC and ABC this year, and kicks off at 11am ET. It runs for two hours!
Following the Rose Parade, the actual Rose Bowl Game will air at 4pm ET on ESPN between The the Indiana Hoosiers and Alabama Crimson Tide. Be sure to tune in!
