In "Rome New Year’s Day Parade 2026," American students join performers from Italy and other European nations to usher in the New Year in the heart of the Eternal City – Rome. With marching bands, cheerleaders and a host of local participants, the program is a colorful and joyful parade through the historic streets of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
This one-hour compilation of parade highlights will be set against breathtaking backdrops, including the famous Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, Via Condotti and Via del Corso through to the Piazza del Popolo.
