San Francisco is set to have a float in the 2026 Rose Parade, its first in nearly 50 years. The city's participation in the parade has been reported, with some outlets providing information on how to get involved, while others note the float's design, specifically that it lacks iconic rainbow flags, which has been a point of contention. The parade itself is scheduled to take place, with a lineup of floats, bands, and equestrian units, and some outlets have already reported on the event's award winners.
