PASADENA, Ca. (Aug. 28, 2024) – Today, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® announces the fourth consecutive Mid-Parade Performance presented by Explore Louisiana. The 2025 float will showcase the state’s heart and soul, including rising country artist Timothy Wayne. The Mid-Parade Performance fulfills Louisiana’s promise to feed your soul and bring the music that defines its rich musical heritage.
Louisiana will provide the mid-parade entertainment again in 2025, featuring rising country artist Timothy Wayne performing “Louisiana Saturday Night.” Wayne spent the summer touring with his uncle, Louisiana native Tim McGraw, and Carley Pearce on the Standing Room Only Tour. He signed with UMG Nashville earlier this year and has been working on his first studio project before returning to LSU for his junior year of college.
Louisiana’s past floats have been celebrated for their creativity and artistry, and this year’s entry is set to be no different. The 2025 float showcases a Louisiana alligator adorned with beads, carrying a Cajun dance hall and pots of boiled seafood on its back. Every element of the float vividly brings Louisiana’s story to life, emphasizing good music, good food, good friends and a joyful celebration.
Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate on January 1, 2025, in the 136th Rose Parade presented by Honda.
