Gayle Anderson was live in Irwindale as we continue our preview of the January 1st , New Year’s Day two hour special that’s replacing the Covid-19 pandemic canceled Tournament of Roses Parade. It’s the Rose Parade Reimagined! It’s The Rose Parade’s New Year Celebration Presented by Honda. The reimagined New Year’s Day celebration features musical entertainment, celebrity guest appearances, marching band performances, special Rose Bowl Game football highlights, equestrians, and spectacular floats from past years as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a float. Last Thursday, we provided a sneak peek of some of the elements of the broadcast.
Since this would have been decorating week for the 2021 Rose Parade, we will spotlight the float builders and the floats included in the two-hour reimagined Rose Parade special as well as information about the special behind-the-scenes look at the Rose Parade.
Today, we spotlight the award-winning work of Fiesta Parade Floats, responsible for creating a special floral structure for the January 1st, 2021 Reimagined Rose Parade broadcast.
