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.
