When the likes of Big Bird and Elmo make appearances, you know the Tournament of Roses Parade is at the top of every celebrity’s list. Even Kermit the Frog has served as Grand Marshall of the Parade.
Over the years, Grand Marshalls have included Walt Disney, Shirley Temple (3 times!), Jimmy Stewart, Mary Pickford, Buzz Aldrin, Hank Aaron and even Mickey Mouse.
This year, Pasadena is proud to welcome as Grand Marshall Los Angeles Dodgers announcer and Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, a popular guy in these parts.
And keep your eyes open. You never know who you’ll see in the stands.
MTAP wants to know: Have you seen famous people in the stands at the parade? Who’s your favorite Grand Marshall from the past? Who would you like to see as Grand Marshall in the future?
