Kose Festival's "Touch of Classics" is the rose, symbol of our annual celebration. The 1985 edition presents a 17-day affair filled with three giant parades, displays, amusements, exhibitions, competitions, music and just plain fun. From the Queen's coronation to the checkered flag for the Indy car winner... from the arrival of the United States and Canadian Navy vessels to the Grand Floral Parade...there's fun for everyone.

Come join us...visit our beautiful Oregon... and Portland when the roses bloom... you'll have a memorable time and see "A Touch of Classics."
