The following is information you will need to guarantee a great experience while decorating with Festival Artists - they ask you commit to at least 4 hours in the above two available time slots.
ATTIRE We suggest that all our decorators wear old grubby clothes, because this is a construction site and there is a lot of paint and glue. You may also want to bring a sweater or jacket, as sometimes it can get very cold. Bring Scissors if possible.
FOOD You are encouraged to bring a sack lunch, but a lunch truck will be available on site. There are also fast food restaurants in the area.
AGE LIMIT Only people 13 and older are allowed to be on scaffolding. Children ages 11 -12 may decorate in other areas.
VALUABLES We do not have lockers or storage to keep sweaters, jackets, purses etc. Radios, CDs and cassettes are not permitted. Please use cell phones outside the float building, as they interfere with our communication system.
Also, as a reminder, there is no smoking inside the float building.
PARKING Artistic Entertainment does not accept responsibility for parking, security for decorator’s vehicles or personal property. This is the decorator’s responsibility. Parking is available on the streets. RSVP here for Rose Parade Float Decorating!

Join your friends from the Big Ten Club for the annual Rose Bowl Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon when Lloyd Carr, Orlando Pace and Lynn Swann are inducted. Seating limited to the first 10 people to sign-up. After the Big Ten Club table sells out, Click Here for information on general public seating. About the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame The Rose Bowl Hall of Fame was established in 1989 to pay tribute to members of the Rose Bowl Game who have contributed to the history and excitement of the game, and those who embody the highest level of passion, strength, tradition and honor associated with The Granddaddy of Them All®. Over the past 24 years, a total of 110 inductees have been added to the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. Inductees are honored with a permanent plaque that includes their name and year of induction at The Court of Champions at the Rose Bowl Stadium and are announced on the field during the 100th Rose Bowl Game. Click Here for more information About the Inductees Lloyd H. Carr coached at the University of Michigan for 28 years from 1980-2007, first with defensive backs, then as defensive coordinator before finally taking over the Wolverine head coaching post from 1995 until he retired in 2007. Over that span, Carr’s Michigan teams came to nine Rose Bowl Games, including four under his reign as head coach. Carr’s best season came in 1997, when he led the Wolverines to a 12-0 record, a Rose Bowl Game victory over Washington State and an AP National Championship. During his 13-year tenure as head coach, Carr posted a 122-40 record, which is third best in Michigan history behind legends Fielding Yost and fellow Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee Bo Schembechler. Carr directed Michigan to six bowl victories and five Big Ten titles. In his final season, Carr won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award, awarded to the coach whose team excels on the field, in the classroom and in the community. He and his wife, Laurie, have six children and 12 grandchildren. Orlando Pace was a two-time consensus first-team All-American offensive tackle for the Ohio State Buckeyes from 1993-1996. Pace won the Outland Trophy, given annually for the best interior lineman in college football, in 1996, and the Lombardi Award, given to the best lineman or linebacker in 1995 and 1996. Pace’s Buckeyes’ defeated previously unbeaten Arizona State, 20-17, in the 1997 Rose Bowl Game, playing for 2012 Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee John Cooper. While offensive lineman are not typically headline news, Pace stole the show in the Rose Bowl Game by shutting down the Sun Devils All-American pass rusher Derrick Rodgers. Pace didn’t allow a sack in his final two seasons at Ohio State, ending with the Rose Bowl Game. When Sports Illustrated named their “NCAA Football All-Century Team” in 1999, Pace was selected as a starting tackle. He was also named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2000’s. Pace was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2013 and Ohio State “O” Hall of Fame in 2011. He and his wife, Carla, have four children. Lynn Swann was a member of two Rose Bowl Game teams during his time at the University of Southern California. In the 1972 season, Swann led the Trojans in receiving yards and a victory over UCLA to earn a berth in the 1973 Rose Bowl Game. In that game, he again led the Trojans in receiving, catching six passes for 108 yards and a touchdown, in a 42-17 win over Ohio State. That season the Trojans became the first team in college football history to be unanimously voted as the No. 1 team. As a senior, Swann was a team captain and led USC in receiving. The Trojans went on to lose the 1974 Rose Bowl Game to the Buckeyes, 42-21, but Swann caught five passes for 47 yards. In 1973, Swann was a consensus All-American and winner of the Pop Warner Trophy, given to the most valuable senior on the West Coast. Swann was inducted into the College and Pro Football Hall of Fames, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers and USC Athletic Hall of Fame. He and his wife, Charena, have two sons. Please note the Big Ten Club table only has seating available for the first 10 people to sign up. Contact The Big Ten Club if you have questions, secretary@bigtenclub.com
