The Rose Parade on New Year’s Day will look a little different this year as you know.
The two-hour special will be filled with celeb appearances and musical performances, along with a look back at what has made the parade so special over its 131-year history. The special will be hosted by Hoda Kotb and Al Roker.
This year’s presentation, which airs from 11:30-1 p.m. ET on Jan. 1, will celebrate everything viewers have come to love about the Rose Parade, including its history, participants, volunteers and, of course, the gorgeous flowers. Most NBC affiliates will also air optional coverage of the parade from 11-11:30 a.m. ET.
This year’s celebration of the new year will feature musical performances by Sheryl Crow; Mickey Guyton; Tori Kelly; Lady A; Rascal Flatts; and the War and Treaty.
Celebrity guest appearances will include Daddy Yankee; Shanola Hampton; Laurie Hernandez; Matt Leinart; Rita Moreno; actress Dascha Polanco; and Vin Scully.
