The 2022 parade will adopt the theme that had been planned for this year's event, "Dream. Believe. Achieve." But the theme will be expanded beyond its original focus on education to celebrate the perseverance of health care professionals, first responders and essential workers during the pandemic. "We look forward to working with the city of Pasadena and our other valued partners throughout the year as we prepare for the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena on January 1, 2022," Miller said. This year was only the fourth time since 1891 that the parade was canceled, with the three previous cancellations occurring during the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945.
