Are You Ready To Have Some Fun?

Rose Parade Float Decorating is a time-honored tradition. This site is developed to help you get acquainted with your role in creating these floating artistic masterpieces. There is a lot of information, we ask that you please read it carefully.

Visit the "What I Need To Know" and "FAQ" Pages for Details on what to expect, where to go, what to bring, and more.

What We Do

We team together with Float Builders to create floral masterpieces for America's Largest New Year's Day Celebration!

Our Volunteers will spend thousands of hours applying natural material to the floats that will travel down Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, California to celebrate the New Year.

Considerations

We strongly recommend that you come to a more relaxed Dry Decoration Day before coming to a Floral Decoration Day.

Age Requirements for Volunteers are set by Float Builders, and Girl Scouts, and are STRICTLY enforced. Your Group Leader is responsible for obtaining confirmation on the ages of everyone they bring to the building. The following restrictions will be applied to Volunteers:

All Volunteers MUST meet the age requirements for the day they volunteer.

Younger “tag-alongs” brought by Volunteers, including infants, are not permitted in the building, please leave younger children at home. This is non-negotiable and is implemented for safety reasons. If you bring younger children with you, they will be asked to leave.

*Please take note, Float Sponsors, Float Builders, and their employees have had younger family members in the building in the past. Please do not ask them to leave, we will take care of it.
