As 2022 draws to a close, London will gear up to welcome thousands of young American participants to its annual New Year's Day Parade. Many have been waiting years for the life-changing experience, due to the fact that global travel was near impossible during the pandemic. But this year, 24 marching bands and 1,000 cheerleaders from schools and colleges across the United States prepare in anticipation to perform through the streets of London. This half-hour special, LONDON'S NEW YEARS DAY PARADE 2023 - WELCOME BACK TO LONDON showcases the tremendous effort that goes into London's annual New Years Day Parade and how so many groups and individuals come together to make the event spectacular.
