One of the world's great special events, the Portland Rose Festival kicks off its second century in 2008 with the theme, Romancing the Rose.
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. In its third year, the Concert at the Park boasts top-notch band entertainment, including several guest bands. Military bands, percussion ensembles, drum and bugle corps, and visiting high schools join local high schools in this exhibition performance, which includes several field shows. The One More Time Around Again Marching Band presented by Standard TV & Appliance, boasting more than 500 members, provides the headlining performance. 2007 Results
