A paso is a float at least in American English: don't you remember the Sandra Bullock film Hope Floats? The title, if you know the plot, can be read in two different ways (it's about a woman in a small provincial town who back in her teen years was prom queen and at one point took part in a parade, hers being the most ornate float).

Unless, of course, in Spanish paso is only used in the context of religious parades...
