2024 ROSE PARADE OPENING SPECTACULAR PRESENTED BY HONDA
Performers: David Archuleta, Rush Davis, Cassadee Pope, Michelle Williams
An innovative, vibrant twist for the Rose Parade, showcasing not just one or two, but three recording artists representing diverse backgrounds and musical genres. The first artist featured is David Archuleta who draws in the audience with his astounding vocal range performing inside a seemingly infinite tunnel of roses as the performance transfers over to Cassadee Pope, who is leading a rock and roll carpool karaoke moment inside a car full of dancers! The energy transfers over to the iconic Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child, who is performing in what looks like the center of a giant rose, with dancers surrounding her with large flower petal fans creating a Busby Berkeley homage while the DJ, Rush Davis, takes the performance into a full street party with acrobatic trickers exploding to life around him.
