The Tournament of Roses announced on August 3, 2026 that applications are now being accepted online for the 2027 Rose Court. Prospective participants in Pasadena, California can submit their materials through the organization’s website, marking the start of the annual selection process for the next year’s court.
Each year the Rose Court is chosen to serve as public ambassadors for the Tournament of Roses, the city of Pasadena and the broader Los Angeles region. The court members represent the parade, the Rose Bowl Game and related community events, helping to promote the traditions and charitable activities associated with the organization. By acting as visible faces of the celebration, they help convey the spirit of the tournament to residents and visitors alike.
The 2027 court will be composed of young adults within the 17 to 21 age range, as indicated by the numeric guidelines provided. Applicants are required to complete an online form that gathers personal information, community involvement details and any relevant experience that aligns with the ambassadorial role. While specific deadlines were not disclosed, the organization encourages interested candidates to submit their applications promptly to be considered for the upcoming selection cycle. Once chosen, the Rose Court members will undertake a schedule of public appearances, media engagements and community service activities throughout their tenure, representing both the historic parade and the Pasadena community on a regional scale.
