London Parade

In the heart of Westminster on New Year’s Day as the London Parade 2027 takes over the capital for its spectacular 41st Anniversary celebration. One of the largest New Year’s events in the world, this unmissable extravaganza celebrates the very best of London and beyond with an unforgettable showcase of music, movement, and visual spectacle. More than 8,000 performers from across the globe will fill the streets with energy, featuring marching bands, cheerleaders, vibrant dance troupes, giant balloons, thrilling stunt displays, heritage vehicles, and eye-catching floats from London’s boroughs. With over 500,000 spectators expected along the 2.2-mile route, the atmosphere will be electric as the city welcomes 2027 in style. The London Parade is more than a show—it’s a tradition. Since its beginnings in 1987 with just 2,000 performers, it has grown into a world-class celebration attracting participants from the UK, USA, Europe, and beyond. Today, it stands as a global TV event, reaching an audience of more than 500 million viewers worldwide. Complementing the parade is the London Parade Concert Series, where internationally renowned ensembles perform in iconic venues across the capital, adding even more cultural richness to the festivities. At its heart, the London Parade is also about giving back. Through the London Borough Competition, the event has raised over £2.5 million for London charities, supporting communities across the city. Whether you’re discovering London for the first time or continuing a cherished New Year’s tradition, the London Parade 2027 promises colour, community, and world-class entertainment set against one of the world’s most iconic backdrops.
