The Daffodilians invite you to join us for a fantastic parade and festival weekend this year. “Don’t Stop Believing” is our theme for 2012. As a result of your feedback, we have developed a “new look” Daffodil Festival hosting packet this year. We have found a fantastic new hotel featuring all of the frills of years past with a significant savings to you. Participants will be treated to the award winning catering and services of Pacific Grill. As an added bonus, the hotel is on the parade route and has a reserved balcony for anyone purchasing a packet that isn’t participating in the parade in Tacoma. This year we will celebrate the 79th annual Daffodil Festival Grand Floral Parade... make that parades. Four parades in four cities all in one day is a tradition that is unique to the Daffodil Festival. The Parade travels through Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner and Orting, with tens of thousands of loyal fans and spectators lining the streets to view of this spring spectacular. Our packets have changed from last year. We have removed the Saturday lunch, and have added some additional no-host opportunities. You will find an entertainment option allowing participants to enjoy many of the nearby museums and attractions. This is for the benefit of our guests who do not travel to all four parades or are simply looking for added value in their hosting packet. I look forward to your arrival, and “Don’t Stop Believing”. You never know when Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or even the Tooth Fairy might appear! Susan McGuire |
