Decorating Rotary International's Rose Parade Float is a joyful and unforgettable experience filled with teamwork, creativity, and community spirit ... and YOU can be part of the work!!! Rotarians and friends of Rotary of all ages are invited to come together to bring this year's stunning design to life, carefully placing each vibrant flower, seeds and natural materials to create a breathtaking masterpiece. It's a chance to make new friends, contribute to a meaningful cause, and take part in a cherished tradition - which began in 1980 (RI's 75th year) - bringing smiles to millions on New Year's Day (Thursday, January 1, 2026).
