Float Decoration
Portland, OR, USA

Decorating a float for the annual Rose Parade in Portland involves an incredible amount of detailed work, largely carried out by dedicated volunteers. These volunteers meticulously apply natural materials by hand, often working long hours to ensure every inch of the float is covered.
