PASADENA – As the 135th Rose Parade “Celebrates a World of Music,” the Tournament of Roses invites people from around the world to join the celebration via their first-ever livestream, which will be carried, in its entirety, by four streaming services, including Fubo TV, Christmas Plus, Pluto TV and LocalNow.

The two-hour extravaganza, which will feature stunning floral floats, high-stepping equestrian units and spirited marching bands, will be hosted by Jericka Duncan of CBS Weekend News, actress Gabrielle Elyse and TikTok sensation Pressley Hosbach.
