Read full article: 2021 Rose Parade canceled due to coronavirus pandemicPASADENA, Calif. – The 2021 Rose Parade has been canceled because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on planning for the New Year’s Day tradition and the risk of spreading infections among its huge audience and participants, organizers said Wednesday. Planning for the Rose Bowl college football game that traditionally follows the parade is continuing, the association said. The parade is held every Jan. 1 except when New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday and the event is pushed to Jan. 2. Thousands of spectators normally jam the 5-mile (8-kilometer) parade route through Pasadena, some camping out overnight on sidewalks to ensure a good view. The Jan. 1 Rose Bowl football game would be a college football playoff semifinal.
