Ring in the new year with the 133rd Rose Parade presented by Honda!

Southern California’s annual Jan. 1 holiday tradition returned after being canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. A two-hour pre-produced special — “The Rose Parade’s New Year Celebration presented by Honda” — aired instead.

This year’s 5 1/2 mile route featured almost six dozen tournament entries, including the parade’s famed floral floats, marching bands and equestrian units, plus the Rose Queen and entire Royal Court.

The theme for the 133rd Rose Parade was “Dream. Believe. Achieve,” and the grand marshal was actor, director and “Reading Rainbow” host LeVar Burton.

The 133rd Rose Queen was Nadia Chung, who was a senior at La Cañada High School.

The parade kicked off at 8 a.m. PT and was broadcast live on KTLA 5 Channel 5 in Southern California, online on ktla.com, and on the KTLA 5 app and KTLA+. Two hours of pre-produced programming — “Backstage at the Rose Parade” and “Rose Parade Countdown” aired on KTLA before the main event.

Leeza Gibbons, Mark Steines and our own Micah Ohlman served as KTLA’s hosts.

KTLA has now broadcast the Rose Parade for 75 straight years, including last year’s special event.

If you missed the parade live, it will be rebroadcast on Channel 5 at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Here’s a list of parade entries, according to the Tournament of Roses, which organizes the annual New Year’s Day Celebration.
