      Decorating the Wisconsin Float

      Rose Parade Float decorators and volunteers are experiencing the magic of the floats before they make their debut in the 2020 Rose Parade.

      Below are photos of volunteers as they are feverishly finishing decorating before the big day.

      To all the volunteers, petal pushers as they’re known in some circles, you are the real stars of the Parade. Thank you for your dedication!
