Decorator Instructions
Our goal is to produce a prime award winning float and have a good experience. Please download and review the two documents below along with the liability and photo waivers to ensure you and your fellow volunteers have a fun and safe time while decorating the Rotary Rose Parade Float.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you sign up to decorate, you will be expected to work a full 8-hour shift. Phoenix float decorating supervisors are on a very tight schedule, which is impossible to maintain if decorators leave early. Decorating the float consists of many types of jobs, some more glamorous than others, but all are equally important.
Decorators may have the privilege of decorating another organization’s float at the Phoenix Decorating site, if the number of decorators for the Rotary float exceeds the needs for any shift.
The minimum age for decorators is 14
NEW!! Phoenix Decorating Company has updated its Float Decorator-waiver form for 2025.
All decorators who enter their building will be required to pre-sign this document.
They require that all youth under 18 years have this form signed by parent or guardian and those over 18 years of age sign as individuals.
Phoenix will require all county mandates. This includes masks indoors and social distancing.
At this time, there is no county mandate to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test to decorate.
Decorators may have the privilege of decorating another organization’s float at the Phoenix Decorating Company site if the number of decorators exceeds the needs for any shift.

Decorator Group, Sponsor Donations
The sponsoring clubs of groups signed up to decorate the float are asked to make a donation to the Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee of $15 or more per decorator.
Each decorator receives a t-shirt. This donation helps defray the additional cost of building this animated float which will be more fun and eye catching than ever.
Groups are limited to 10 decorators.
After you have signed up your Club for a session you will receive confirmation from the Decorating Committee.
