Volunteer

If you are here…
You are already one step closer to getting your chance to decorate a float for the 2014 Tournament of Roses Parade. One note right off the top is that all volunteers must be at least 13 years old or older to help us out. Now, how do you sign up? Phoenix Decorating Company works with two organizations who actually coordinate and manage all the volunteers who sign up and work in our float barns. You must click on one of the two links listed here to sign up.


To sign up to volunteer at Rosemont Pavilion
Please click on Kiwanis International.

To sign up to volunteer at the Rose Palace
Please click on Lutheran Petal Pushers.


Be patient as most of our organizers are just wrapping up details from the 2013 parade and it may take a couple weeks for details about the 2014 schedule to be posted.

Below is our tentative volunteer schedule for this year’s decorating. You may volunteer for any or all of the dates listed below, however, we do ask that when you sign up you be prepared to work a full shift of 8 hours each time. When you arrive for your pre-scheduled shift you will be assigned to where we need you. You may be asked to cut flowers. You may be asked to decorate a certain float. We strive to make sure you have a great time and feel a sense of accomplishment when you are done! (Although you may get a bit messy too so wear proper working attire.)

Go Metro Gold to Decorating Sites

Decorators wishing to avoid parking difficulties can ride the Metro Gold Line to stations near the two Phoenix float decorating sites.

For Rose Palace, go to the Fillmore Station; walk west to Raymond Ave., south to 835 S. Raymond Ave. (2-block walk).

For Rosemont Pavilion, go to the Memorial Park Station; walk west on Holly St., right on Fair Oaks Ave. to Walnut St., left to Orange Grove Blvd., right to Rosemont Ave., left to 700 Seco St. (1.7 mi. walk).

For those driving, there is paid parking near the Rose Palace at the Fillmore Park & Ride (4hrs @ $10; 5hrs+ @ $12), and free parking near Rosemont Pavilion in Lot I, south of the Rose Bowl.
