A year after New Year's Day passed without a Rose Parade due to the coronavirus pandemic, the floral spectacle returned.
The 133rd edition of the Pasadena, California, tradition featured actor LeVar Burton as grand marshal, 20 marching bands, 18 equestrian units and dozens of floats reflecting the theme of"Dream. Believe. Achieve."
LeAnn Rimes kicked off the event with a performance of"Throw My Arms Around the World" followed by a military flyover of a B-2 bomber. Also on the performance list were"American Idol" winner Laine Hardy aboard Louisiana's"Feed Your Soul" float and country singer-songwriter Jimmie Allen. "We must prioritize the health and safety of our front-line medical staff and ensure we are able to treat patients during this recent surge of COVID-19 cases caused by the omicron variant," the health care network said.
Pasadena authorities urged people to wear masks, upgrading to the N95 or KN95 types, and avoid mingling with anyone outside their own groups.
