Since 2007, Spherion was a major sponsor of the parade along with Delta Air Lines as co-sponsor, being called The Spherion Orlando Citrus Parade, presented by Delta Air Lines.
The event was placed in between the college football games during the last week in December.
These floats were decorated with citrus fruits in a similar style to the Lemon Festival in Menton, France.
They also followed the tradition of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.
Then, generally on the last week of December of every year (In rare occasions, the parade was done on the 29th, because December 30 was a Sunday, or 31st of December, if the Citrus Bowl football game comes on January 2), the streets of Downtown Orlando were packed with visitors from other places who came to see their high school marching band and the marching bands for the two universities which would have a match up at the Citrus Bowl that year.
