The Rose Parade has been cancelled for the first time since 1945.
on the association's website, they said the decision was made after they commissioned a feasibility and safety report, which determined the annual parade could not be held safely.
Though the decision may appear to be an early one to some, planning for the parade typically begins in February. "We all know what the Rose Parade means to us here in Pasadena, as well as to New Year celebrations around the world," Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek added."To know that we won’t get to experience this great tradition on January 1, 2021, is extremely disappointing. However, we also know that we must act responsibly to protect our community in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Tornek said he looks forward"to working with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on their reimagined New Year celebration, as well as the return of the Rose Parade on January 1, 2022."
