ABOUT THE ROSE FESTIVAL

The Portland Rose Festival has inspired the public to gather and celebrate against a backdrop of historic external forces for 115 years. The Rose Festival will return in a big way in 2022 for the Rose City Reunion, demonstrating how our community can carry on traditions, honor diversity and celebrate unity. This means a return of Rose Festival’s big outdoor events like the Grand Floral Parade, Starlight Parade, Junior Parade, CityFair and Fleet Week, and a continuation of the Rose Festival Court and Queen’s Coronation. We welcome Portlanders and visitors alike to celebrate our floral heritage and community spirit.
