About the Parade

The theme of the 2024 Rose Parade was “Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language.” This year’s Grand Marshall was Audra McDonald, a multi-award-winning performer from theater, music and television. Singing performances included Jordin Sparks, David Archuleta and Cassadee Pope and Annie Bosko.

The parade travels 5 ½ miles down Colorado Boulevard and features four types of entries: floral-decorated floats entered by a participating corporation, non-profit organization or municipality, equestrian units, bands, and Tournament Entries. Rose Parade participants have long histories with the Tournament of Roses and keep the traditions alive.

The 108th Rose Bowl Game featured Michigan (1) and Alabama (4).
