Two men in suits escort the float, one dressed in the white suit of a Royal Rosarian and one dressed in a blue suit with a straw hat. The side of the float reads "Hollywood District of Portland," the front reads "Big Top" and has a small yellow sign with number 24 on it. The Rose Festival Parade is an annual event in which floats are made out of flowers and paraded down the streets of Portland.
