Yesterday Louisiana’s float in the Rose Parade won the Showmanship Award for the second year in a row.
On New Year’s Day, Louisiana was represented at the 135th Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, with the Louisiana Office of Tourism’s “Explore Louisiana” float, which rolled in the Rose Parade.
The Showmanship Award is awarded to the float that best represents showmanship and entertainment.
The float rolled with entertainers and performers that included Grammy-nominated Zydeco musician Sean Ardoin, Cajun fiddler Amanda Shaw, and guitarist James Burton.
Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser said they were very excited to kick off the Louisiana Office of Tourism 2024 Year of Music campaign with this win.
