The Daffodilians invite you to come and enjoy “Swing into Spring”.
Hey Batter, Hey Batter! Step up to our plate and help us hit a Grand Slam as we "Swing into Spring." With your help our hospitality weekend could make our Daffodil season a winner!
We will start with our "Welcome" at our Sports Bar hospitality room upon your arrival. Friday night is our Grand Banquet, where you will once again be awed by our outstanding Royal Court.
On Saturday you will be able to showcase your wonderful
traveling floats or marching units in our Grand Floral Parade. This
tradition is unique to the Daffodil Festival as our parade proceeds through
Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner & Orting, with thousands of cheering spectators.
After a day of parading, Saturday evening will be a relaxing one with a dinner
and then on to our Daffodil Sports Bar hospitality room where you will be able
to wile away a few hours chatting and reliving your game day experience.
We look forward to your arrival.
