Tour Options Now Available for the 2027 Rose Parade
Many people say attending the annual Rose Parade on New Year’s Day is a “bucket list” item for them. Cross this item off your list and make plans to be in Pasadena, California, for the 2027 parade by joining a tour group through Luther Tours. The two parade tours offer a fun-filled week with an opportunity to see firsthand how the beautiful and meaningful floats are designed, constructed, and decorated for the annual parade.
The Lutheran Hour Ministries float will be part of the parade for the 76th time, this year with a theme of “God’s Promises Welcome All.” As the only Christian float in the Jan. 1 parade, the LHM float carries on a mission of providing a Gospel witness to viewers along the parade route as well as on televisions and streaming platforms worldwide. The LHM float is a self-funded project of the Southern California District of the Lutheran Laymen’s League and is not included in LHM’s operating budget.
Both tours run from Dec. 28, 2026, through Jan. 2, 2027. Find more information, or register today, by visiting shop.petalpushers.org/pages/decoratingtours. Pricing and deadlines can be viewed online; airfare not included with either package. Questions? Contact LHM Float Committee Chair Dick Gast at chairman@petalpushers.org or 949-230-2501.
