This year, the parade is honoring the Friends of Roseville Parks. FOR Parks is a citizens’ group that works closely with the City of Roseville and the Parks and Recreation Department to raise funds for recreational facilities and activities at parks throughout the city.

Celebrity Grand Marshal Sawkar is a five-time Emmy award winning journalist and Co-Grand Marshal Lileks is an award-winning columnist, online editor and blogger for the Star Tribune.

The Rose Parade is one of the biggest parades in the Twin Cities. The parade begins at 6:15 p.m. It will have more than 90 entrants, including several marching bands.

If you can’t join us in person, watch the Rose Parade live on Cable Channel 16 or CTV 15. The parade will air on both stations. See the Channel 16 schedule or the CTV 15 schedule for dates and times.
