What Happens to Rose Parade Floats AFTER the Rose Parade?

Gayle Anderson has a follow-up report at Fiesta Parade Floats, the award-winning Rose Parade float builder, in Irwindale to learn about the recycling required by float builders for their floats, including their award-winning floats, after the parade is over!

Also, we learn about their other float building projects (MLK Day Parade and Chinese New Year Parade) and the impact the pandemic is having on those projects and we try to learn about the announcement for the theme of the 2022 Tournament of Roses Parade.


Led by a talented team of Rose Parade veterans that includes President Tim Estes, Floral Director Jim Hynd AIFD, a group of world-renowned designers, and the industry’s only full-time support staff, no other Rose Parade float builder has been more dominant than Fiesta Parade Floats during the past three decades.

With the highest award win rate in the Rose Parade industry, Fiesta Parade Floats has cemented its status as the leader in float technology as it looks to bolster its impressive float-building track record in 2022 with another incredible lineup of Rose Parade floats. All six of the 2022 Rose Parade Floats designed, and constructed, Fiesta Parade Floats won awards:
