VOLUNTEER
Each year thousands of volunteers come together to decorate the floats that will roll down Colorado Boulevard on New Year’s morning. For some people it is a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list moment, for others it is an annual event.
Fiesta Productions welcomes two shifts of volunteer decorators during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day comprised of adults of all ages, high schoolers, service clubs, along with countless members from the Girl Scout community and Scout Troops.
The Float Volunteer Coordinator tightly schedules everyone to make sure there are ample volunteers to complete the work that must be done during each shift.
