Holidays and festivities during a pandemic have been a challenge both for organizers and those who make those festivities part of their annual tradition. If the annual Rose Parade is a big part of your New Year's Day tradition or if it is just something that always runs in the background, you're in luck.

Holidays and festivities during a pandemic have been a challenge both for organizers and those who make those festivities part of their annual tradition. If the annual Rose Parade is a big part of your New Year’s Day tradition or if it is just something that always runs in the background, you’re in luck.

While there will not be a traditional parade, there will be parade programming.

Parade organizers have produced a two-hour pre-taped program called “The Rose Parade’s New Year Celebration” that will air in place of the parade.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. Eastern time and will be broadcast on ABC, NBC, Univision and The Hallmark Channel.
