2024 Aurora Pride Parade Float Competition

2024 Aurora Pride Parade Float Competition

The next Aurora Pride Parade is on Sunday, June 9th, 2024, and we have some news!

We wanted to step things up a bit for next year, and we hope you’ll join us. We love all the marching units that participate every year; groups walking, performance groups, vehicles, etc. One category we’ve noticed has declined somewhat has been floats, and we’d love to see more of them! To that end, we’re announcing the 2024 Aurora Pride Parade Float Competition!

“What’s a float? I know it when I see it.” - Justice Potter Stewart, probably

So what do we consider a float? For our purposes, a float is a mobile build that goes beyond a simple vehicle. So a pickup truck isn’t a float, but one could be built in the bed or on a trailer. A float could be built around a car. It needn’t be motorized; it could be pulled by people or pedaled. It also needs to be safe; it must hold the people on it securely, and it needs to be controlled, with steering and brakes with which to safely navigate the parade route. It must also comply with the usual parade rules.

It also needs to be fabulous! For parade floats, more is usually more.

The theme this year is Prom.

When you’ve largely decided on your design, submit a description and any sketches with our online form. We’ll take a look and make sure it meets our definition of a safe float, and make suggestions if it doesn’t. Once it’s approved, you can start building!

Approved floats will be allowed early access to the staging area to complete final assembly.

After the parade, we’ll post pictures of all entries and let the community vote. There will be prizes for the winners, along with bragging rights.

We know a float isn’t something everyone can do, or is interested in doing. We’ll also have a separate prize for best non-float marching unit. Every non-float unit that marches will be automatically eligible.
