The 2021 Rose Parade has been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, the first time there will be no parade since World War II, organizers announced. So far, the annual Rose Bowl football game in Pasadena will go on as scheduled but that could change.

“We continue to work with the College Football Playoff and our collegiate partners to explore what this year’s college football season will look like amidst COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines,” said David Eads, executive director/CEO. “While the safety and well-being of the student athletes, university personnel and fans is our top priority, we remain hopeful that the Granddaddy of Them All will take place on New Year’s Day.”
