The 2024 Rose Parade theme is, “Celebrating a World of Music,” and features 20 of the world’s best marching bands from America’s hometowns and bedrock national institutions, as well as, from diverse corners of the world. The iconic Rose Parade is truly America’s celebration of hope and promise as state-of-the-art floats bedecked with flowers and other natural materials glide 5 ½ miles from Orange Grove Blvd., past the stately former Wrigley Mansion (now home to the Tournament of Roses) before making a turn down famed Colorado Blvd. where millions view the spectacle. For those not along the parade route, Great American Family welcomes all on New Year’s Day to the 135th Rose Parade with its majestic floats, equestrians, marching bands, entertainment performances, and the traditional flyover the San Gabriel Mountains by the U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit.

“It’s an honor to be back working alongside the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association to televise this classic event,” said Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media. “The Rose Parade perfectly embodies the mission of Great American Family by bringing joy and celebration to participants and spectators alike, and I have had the pleasure of seeing first-hand the positive impact on communities made possible by the Tournament of Roses Foundation’s meaningful outreach efforts. We look forward to our continued partnership in the years to come.”

“The Rose Parade theme, “Celebrating a World of Music,” unites us all through the universal language of music and we can’t wait to watch the thousands of musicians march down Colorado Blvd. together with our fabulous floral floats and equestrian units on New Year’s Day. The Tournament of Roses has partnered with Great American Family as our new broadcast partner for the Rose Parade, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this iconic tradition to households nationwide, delivering an unparalleled viewing experience for families across the country and around the world,” said Alex Aghajanian, 2024 Pasadena Tournament of Roses President.
