Parade Float Info

Looking for info on how to build a float and maybe a little inspiration? We’ve got you covered. Start by brainstorming float ideas. This year’s theme is, “Tradition.” Need some inspiration? Check the sidebar for ideas.

Important! Check the Homecoming Parade requirements and then register your group’s float.

The application fee for Student Organizations is $100. Not sure if the fee and the cost to build your float is in your budget? Consider asking someone in the community to sponsor you! CSU Events will reach out to you if we have any questions about your float. You will receive an email confirming if your float has been approved.

Once your float has been approved assemble your team and start building! Need float supplies? Check out The Student Organization Center.
