Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Office of Tourism today announced the float riders and performers who will represent Louisiana in the 2026 Rose Parade® in Pasadena, California. For the fifth consecutive year, Louisiana will take its place on the national and international stage for this beloved New Year’s tradition. The 2026 parade there is “The Magic of Teamwork.”
“Louisiana is the perfect match for this year’s Rose Parade theme because teamwork is at the heart of everything we do,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “From our shrimpers and fishermen to the chefs who bring our cuisine to life, a great pot of seafood gumbo takes all of us. Our float, ‘Gulf to Gumbo,’ celebrates that spirit by highlighting the fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and unique culture that draw visitors from around the world.”
