The Tournament of Roses Parade

Kermit the Frog was the Grand Marshal of the Rose Bowl Parade on January 1, 1996.

Steve Whitmire performed Kermit as he drove through the parade. At MuppetFest in 2001, Whitmire said that day was the most difficult job he'd had with the Muppets; he had to keep his arm up over his head for almost three hours.
