Reserved Accessible Viewing for the 2020 Rose Parade and How to Volunteer to Decorate the Parade Floats
2020 ROSE PARADE THEME – THE POWER OF HOPE
The 2020 theme, “The Power of Hope,” celebrates the influence of optimism and hope.
The belief that what is wanted can be attained. From the struggles of those who came before us to dreams yet fulfilled, hope is more than simply the possibility of fulfillment. Hope is dignity and respect, joy and happiness, aspiration and achievement. Hope never, ever quits. Through hope, we can aspire to be our best and in turn inspire those around us to reach higher. With hope – anything, in fact, everything is possible.
