The state of Mississippi is set to participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade for the second year in a row on January 1, 2026. The float, titled “Mississippi: Where Creativity Blooms,” will serve as a tribute to the state’s artists.
Visit Mississippi executive director Rochelle Hicks said, “We’re thrilled to showcase Mississippi’s creative heartbeat on a global stage. This float is more than a celebration – it’s a tribute to the artists, musicians, and storytellers who continue to inspire generations.”
Kermit the Frog will be the centerpiece of the float, serving as a tribute to Jim Henson, the Muppets’ creator and a Mississippi native. In the concept art, Kermit is shown holding a guitar, with a backdrop of books by Mississippi authors and various art supplies. The float will also feature a live performance by country music star Charlie Worsham, joined by a group of dancers.
