The final preparations are underway for the iconic floats that will make their way down Colorado Blvd. in the 2023 Rose Parade.
As the driver of a float you are low to the ground and frankly can't see a thing in front of you.
There's a small peep-hole where the driver will be able to see a red line on Colorado Blvd. and that's how they stay on course.All the floats will be dressed up and decked out in vibrant flowers in just one week. As for the Fiesta float is will have about 40,000 flowers on each float, vials will help preserve the flowers until the parade, there will be about 150,000 spectators joining to experience the floats and the tallest Fiesta float will be 32-feet tall.
All of this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the thousands of volunteers and the 10,000 hours they are dedicating to decorate. A reminder that the parade will take place on Jan. 2 because of the traditional"never on Sunday" rule.
