Clayton Echard Appears on Bachelor Mansion Rose Parade in Celebration of ‘The Bachelor’ Premiere
Ringing in 2022 with Bachelor Nation!
Every year, the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl football game take place on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, California.
This year, the parade was extra special because there was a Bachelor Nation float!
In anticipation of Clayton Echard’s season of “The Bachelor” premiering, the float celebrated the return to the Bachelor Mansion for the first time in two years.

As fans know, due to COVID, the show took place in various bubbles and at various hotels over the course of the past few years, but we’re finally back at the mansion!
So the float celebrated this major moment and was aptly titled “A New Journey Blooms.” The float featured the mansion, the iconic fountain, and gorgeous roses, of course!
The new Bachelor Clayton was on the float, joined by the Season 26 host and former Bachelor Jesse Palmer.

Clayton took to Instagram to share his experience, writing, “What a day and what an incredible game! Truly cannot thank everyone I met today enough for being so kind and showing support! It all still feels like a dream, but one that I couldn’t possibly ever forget!”
We’re looking forward to watching Clayton’s love story bloom in 2022, and we’re ready for his season premiere tonight!
To watch Clayton’s journey, tune in Monday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC or stream on Hulu.
