*NOTE: Float Decorating spaces are limited. Selecting a shift above does not guarantee your participation.
When deciding whether to sign up for decorating, please keep the following in mind:

  • Float decorating is long, hard work in a potentially dangerous environment.
  • The minimum age for float decorating is 13. Families with younger children should choose the Tour of Rosemont Pavilion as an alternative.
  • All decorators are required to report to decorating on time and stay until dismissed by the crew chiefs. Shifts are typically 7-8 hours including a meal break.
  • If you have any hesitation regarding spending seven hours inside a cold barn on a beautiful Southern California day, decorating may not be right for you. Instead, opt for the tour or an excursion.
  • For detailed information regarding what decorating entails, please review the Volunteer Guidelines:
