Petal Pushers

Petal Pushers®

Building off the parade theme of “Best Day Ever,” the 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade will take place at 8 a.m. Pacific Time on January 1 in Pasadena, California. The Lutheran Hour Ministries float entry is titled “Behold! Jesus the Savior is Born” and marks the 74th time the ministry has been part of the parade. The float will feature two heralding angels calling viewers to the birth of Jesus and to the church where Jesus may be found. The stained-glass windows of the church will feature some of the best days of Jesus’ life. The float will be entered as the only Christian float in the parade to carry on its mission of providing a Gospel witness to viewers everywhere, from along the parade route to televisions worldwide.

About the Petal Pushers: More than 4,000 volunteers from across the United States and Canada come together to help build floats. The Petal Pushers work on a variety of floats, giving them an opportunity to work side-by-side with people from many different backgrounds, believers and non-believers alike.

The LHM float is a self-funded project of the Lutheran Hour Ministries Float Committee and the Southern California District of the International Lutheran Laymen’s League. The committee’s ongoing work is funded primarily by generous donations from Christian friends and multiple fundraising activities and is not included in the operating budget of Lutheran Hour Ministries.
