The Burbank on Parade committee is seeking volunteers to help construct the parade floats in preparation for the annual community celebration on April 6. The parade is a few weeks earlier this year and there are a lot of things to do.
Creative Director Wayne Poirier is looking for painters, carpenters and artists to give their time. Opportunities to volunteer are twice a week, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays now until parade day at the Burbank Tournament of Roses Float Barn under the Olive Avenue bridge.
“We need creative people and people who can follow instructions,” Poirier said. “It’s a lot of fun and a chance to use your imagination!”
To volunteer, contact Poirier at (818) 402-6399
The parade theme is “Let’s Go to the Movies!” The parade begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 6. It travels east on Olive Avenue from Keystone to Lomita streets and ends at Izay Park. Those featured in the parade are civic leaders, dignitaries, bands, equestrian units, drill teams, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and representatives of businesses and organizations in town.
Burbank on Parade is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, run solely by volunteers. All donations go to the costs of putting on the parade for the whole community’s enjoyment.
