If there's something to celebrate, you have a parade. If you have a parade, you have a float or two or twenty. These enormous decorated "pageant wagons" don't really float at all, of course, but bring sparkly, flowery joy and occasionally a rain of candy to revelers. Whether you're partying at the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro or Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, Mardi Gras in New Orleans or the Mummer's Parade on New Year's Day in Philadelphia, you'll find something to float your boat.
