JUST A FEW FACTS ABOUT PARADE FLOATS

What is a parade float?

A parade float is an elaborately decorated three-dimensional figure or scene, mounted on a wheeled chassis that participates in a procession as part of a specific celebration. Most parade floats are self-propelled, although they may also be towed by another vehicle or pulled by animals. The general shape of the float is such that the underlying structure is not visible, and the figure or scene appears to float on the surface of the street, much as a ship appears to float on the surface of the water. Parade floats are used in a variety of civic and religious celebrations.

Why are they called parade floats?

The parade float got its name because the first floats were decorated barges that were towed along the canals with ropes held by parade marchers on the shore.
