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. 2010 ResultsGRAND FLORAL PARADE SWEEPSTAKES 314.0 Westview High School, Beaverton, OR IN-STATE DIVISION A (99 Members or Less) 288.0 Sunset High School, Beaverton, OR 252.0 Beaverton High School, Beaverton, OR 236.0 Liberty High School, Hillsboro, OR IN-STATE OPEN DIVISION (100 Members or More) 275.0 Century High School, Hillsboro, OR 262.0 Oregon City High School, Oregon City, OR OUT-OF-STATE DIVISION A (99 Members or Less) 283.0 Columbia River High School, Vancouver, WA 273.0 Battle Ground High School, Battle Ground, WA 263.0 Prairie High School, Battle Ground, WA 251.0 Marysville Pilchuk High School, Marysville, WA 248.0 Kingston High School, Kingston, WA OUT-OF-STATE OPEN DIVISION (100 Members or More) 295.0 Heritage High School, Vancouver, WA 280.0 Granada Hills High School, Granada Hills, CA SPECIALTY MUSIC AWARD Shu-Te Commercial High School, Kaohsiung, Taiwan EXHIBITION 1st Marine Division Band, Camp Pendleton, CA Clan Macleay Pipe Band, Scappoose, OR One More Time Around Again Marching Band, Portland, OR CAPTION AWARDS FLAG AND DANCE 1 Shu-Te Home Economic and Commercial High School, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 2 Westview High School, Beaverton, OR 3 Heritage High School, Vancouver, WA PARENT SUPPORT AND OUTWALKERS 1 Kingston High School, Kingston, WA 2 Columbia River High School, Vancouver, WA 3 Heritage High School, Vancouver, WA CHEERLEADING 1 Beaverton High School, Beaverton, OR 2 Westview High School, Beaverton, OR 3 Battle Ground High School, Battle Ground, WA 2010 Participating Bands
