hree prodigious Portland parades march through W | your holidays at the Portland Rose Festival.
-.^2^ There’s the Grand Floral Parade — a spectacular procession of flower-decked floats . .. hundreds of prancing, dancing horses ... spirited marching bands, colorful marching units .. .
And the gay and giddy Merrykhana Parade — a night-time Mardi gras of mirth and merriment, when fun is king and joy is unconfined .. .
And the Junior Festival Parade, the kid-sized creation of 10,000 youngsters dwelling in the magic, make-believe world of childhood . .. where bicycles are battle wagons and dragons are slain from scooters . ..
If you love a parade, you'll love the Portland Rose Festival. It has three of them.
Make it a Northwest vacation in 1962! Combine your trip to Portland’s Rose Festival with one to Seattle's exciting Century 21
exposition ... a fabulous look at the Space Needle in the World of Tomorrow...
Everyone has fun at the Festival Fun Center... and admission is free! Located next to Portland's Lloyd Center, the world's largest shopping center, the Festival Center provides a varied, merry round of entertainment every Festival day.
You shop at the "Streets of the World" bazaar... watch arts, crafts and photography shows... see gardening, outdoor living and floral displays ... visit a carnival or a kiddies' country fair. Everything from jazz to judo and ballet to barbershop harmony is included in the continuous round of free entertainment. There's something for everyone all day, every day, at the Festival Fun Center.
