The 133rd Rose Parade
Chrissy Metz and Susan Kelechi Watson will host this year's telecast from Pasadena, Calif.
NBC is celebrating its 95th year broadcasting the Rose Parade, beginning on radio in 1927 and then televising the annual event beginning in 1954.
Emmy and Peabody Award-winning actor, director, educator and lifelong children's literacy advocate LeVar Burton was previously announced by the Tournament of Roses as this year's Grand Marshal, along with this year's theme, "Dream. Believe. Achieve."
Nearly a thousand white-glove volunteers will spend more than 80,000 meticulous hours creating this year's masterpiece floral floats that will span up to 75-feet long and up to 35-feet high. The floats will feature effects such as pyrotechnics, smoke, waterfalls, streamers and bubbles. Beginning with a B-2 Spirit flyover, viewers will also enjoy hundreds of energetic performers and, as previously announced, 20 marching bands from the U.S. and around the world. Parade participants also include equestrian teams, the USMC Mounted Color Guard and of course, the famous Rose Queen and her Royal Court.
