Fiesta Parade Floats gets 8 nods for their Rose Parade creations

I honestly didn’t know how big parade floats were until I paid attention in 2015 to the various parades. Being a football fan though, one event in particular caught my attention and that was the Rose Parade on New Years Day. Not only did we FINALLY get into a college football playoff system which seems to make sense…we got to see some INSANELY creative presentations in this years New Year celebrations. Corny?! Nah, this is actually BIG BUSINESS!

Fiesta Parade Floats (@fiestafloats), the leading award-winning float builder for the Rose Parade, has continued its decades-long winning streak as eight of its clients’ float entries were awarded trophies by a panel of Rose Parade judges earlier today at the 127th Rose Parade in Pasadena.
