It's Way Too Soon to Cancel the 2021 Rose Parade

Today, July 15th, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses announced that the Rose Parade, scheduled for New Year's Day, is canceled. The decision's made, but it's way too early to be making that determination. What a monumental failure of leadership.




With reluctance and tremendous disappointment, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association announces that, in accordance with Governor Newsom’s Phase IV re-opening schedule, and after thoughtful consideration of the restrictions and guidelines in place as a result of COVID-19, we are unable to host the 2021 Rose Parade.
