One of the world's great special events, the Portland Rose Festival
will celebrate 2010 with the theme, Rose Spirit. The celebration of
the festival's centennial in 2007 was so successful, the Rose Festival
was named the Best Festival in the World by the International Festivals
& Events Association.
The Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade is the second largest all-floral parade in
North America and the single-largest spectator event in Oregon. More than 500,000
spectators line the 4.3 mile parade route which begins inside the
Memorial Coliseum and continues through Downtown Portland. Bands are
judged near the intersection of NE Martin Luther King Boulevard and NE
Multnomah Street.
The Grand Floral Parade is syndicated to more than 25 million households
in major markets across the country. KGW Northwest NewsChannel 8 in
Portland airs the parade live and rebroadcasts the show later
that evening. The parade also airs on Northwest Cable News as a live
regional broadcast.
A week prior to the Grand Floral Parade, the streets of downtown Portland
glow with the lights of the Starlight Parade. The illuminated parade
is one of the Portland Rose Festival's most popular events, drawing more than
250,000 spectators to view the sparkling floats, gleaming bands and glowing marching groups.
A featured highlight in both the Starlight Parade and Grand Floral Parade is the
One More Time Around Again Marching Band presented by Standard TV & Appliance. This all-age band boasts
more than 500 members from the region and across the country.
