Float

Join the Float Team

The floats gliding through the parade are made entirely by us! The dedicated crew behind the scenes are the architects, custodians, and presenters of all THREE Spokane Lilac Festival Floats. This vibrant masterpiece graces not only the renowned Lilac Parade but also graces the stages of summer’s Pacific Northwest community parades and events.

With camaraderie at the core, our friendly collective extends an open invitation for you to join our ranks. Whether you bring a repertoire of skills in wiring, welding, woodworking, or simply an eagerness to partake, your presence enriches the float-building experience!
