Rose Parade 2022 Preview
After taking a year off due to the pandemic, the Rose Parade is back in full floral regalia. Actor LeVar Burton has been named the Grand Marshal, and superstar artists LeAnn Rimes and Jimmie Allen are headlining the performance lineup.
“LeVar Burton perfectly epitomizes this year’s theme.” Tournament of Roses President Bob Miller said in a statement. “The 2022 theme is ‘Dream. Believe. Achieve.’ and celebrates education and the determination of those who travel the path from dream to reality. I am proud to represent the 935 volunteer members in welcoming LeVar to share in the joy and promise of a healthy new year.”
Rimes is the opening performer. She will kick things off with a “re-mixed and re-mastered song created especially for the 2022 Rose Parade titled ‘Throw My Arms Around the World,'” according to the Rose Parade press release. Rimes will be accompanied by the Rose Parade dancers, the Mark Keppel Dance Company, the Rose Parade flag bearers and four drummers.
Allen will close the festivities, right after four Golden Knights of the United States Army parachute team drop into the parade from a plane high above. Allen will then perform his hit song “Good Times Roll” alongside the same dancers and drummers from the opening performance.
Floats for this year’s parade include:
- Donate Life’s “Courage to Hope” float, which is “the winged Lion of Venice from Italy’s Piazza San Marco, set amidst the Venetian Gothic architecture of the Doge’s Palace and Venice’s quintessential gondolas and canals.”
- Lions Clubs International’s “Quest for Kindness” float, which is “a lighthouse representing thousands of Lions clubs, programs and events that serve as ‘beacons’ within their communities.”
- The Rotary’s “Changing Lives Through Education” float, which is a 16-foot-tall owl that ” embodies both the spirit of self-improvement and Rotary’s determination to make the tools of education available to everyone in every land.”
- The UPS store’s “Rise, Shine & Read” float that features “a colorful, spectacled rooster standing atop a stack of books, reading to his family of young chicks.”
- City of Hope’s “Garden of Hopes and Dreams” float, which will feature animated butterflies and mushrooms that “punctuate rebirth after a chaotic time, a metaphor for the sustained battle patients and their health care teams have against cancer, as well as a respectful nod to the dreamed-about eventual end of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
- Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day float, “Seeding Tomorrow,” which “portrays a charming garden featuring its iconic “line lady” guiding a floral wheelbarrow overflowing with garden-inspired scents.”
- “The Masked Singer’s” “Anyone Can Happen” float, which features “larger than life recreations” of “Monster, who is flanked by Flamingo and Hamster,” plus the show’s “infamous, mysterious and occasionally dancing ‘Men In Black,’ who are seen guarding actual costumes on the show.”
The 2022 Tournament of Roses Parade airs live on Saturday, January 1 at 11 a.m. Eastern and 8 a.m. Pacific times on ABC and NBC.
