Rose Parade Decorating (J*CSAV)

Adult Volunteers, Ambassador, Annual Events, Cadette, Dec, Junior, Nov, Oct, Senior, Service, Tagalongs

The amazing floats in the Rose Parade are decorated by volunteers!

Beginning well before Thanksgiving, volunteers (10+ years old) begin preparing dried flowers and other materials for the floats.
In the few days before New Year’s Day, volunteers (12+) work around the clock to decorate the floats with fresh flowers and other items.

Fiesta works with Girl Scouts most often so be sure to check out their schedule.

Want a list of all of the builders looking for volunteers? Check out the Rose Parade’s site for additional information on how you can help.
