(CNN) The 132nd Tournament of Roses Parade, held every New Year's Day in Pasadena, California, has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns, parade officials said Wednesday. The parade, which has been held since 1891, has been canceled only three times before -- during WWII years of 1942, 1943 and 1945. Parade officials cited Gov. Gavin Newsom's phase 4 reopening schedule and consideration of health restrictions as their reason for canceling the 2021 parade. Eads said that planning for the parade typically begins in February the year prior, and advance planning is required by band and equestrian units.
