The City of Alhambra is recruiting volunteers to help decorate its Rose Parade Float, which will sail down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on January 1, 2022.
By News Desk
This year’s theme is “Dream. Believe. Achieve.” The City of Alhambra’s 93rd float features a bus with the message “School Rocks 2022”.
The float is currently being built. Volunteers will decorate the float at the Rose Float Plaza South, 5400 N Irwindale Ave, Irwindale, CA 91706.
Dry Decorations
Dry decorating dates are the first three Saturdays in December: the 4th, 11th and 18th. The decorating shift is from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with a half-hour lunch break at 12:00 pm. Dry decorating consists of working with dried organic material like seeds, beans, legumes, corn husks, rice, and dried flower petals.
Floral Decorations
Floral decorating dates are Sunday, December 26th through Thursday, December 30th. Two shifts are available: a morning shift 8 am to 4 pm, and an evening shift from 4 pm to 11 pm. Volunteers are asked to work the entire shift, with a half-hour break for lunch or dinner.
Volunteers should dress warmly in layers, and wear clothes that they don’t mind getting dirty with glue, seeds, and flower petals. Closed-toe shoes are required for safety. All volunteers must be 13 years of age or older. Please bring your own lunch or dinner.
To register to volunteer, visit the City of Alhambra’s Parks & Recreation Catalog and select the “Rose Parade Volunteering” tab to sign up. You can also call the Alhambra Park office at (626) 570-3242.
