As if by magic, the 81st annual Portland Rose Festival will appear in June 1989 to entertain audiences of all ages like no other festival can.
The festival promises to mesmerize crowds with more than 50 spectacular events, which ranks the Rose Festival as one of the country’s top 25 super events.
The city of Portland and its beautiful surrounding Oregon settings provide the perfect backdrop for the 24 days of fun events. While skiers are hitting the slopes of snowcapped Mount Hood for the festival’s ski classic, other festival-goers are enjoying activities along Portland’s greenway waterfront, such as the internationally acclaimed
Cascade Run Off.
There is definitely something for everyone at the Portland Rose Festival.
In the sky, festival-goers can follow the breathtaking maneuvers of world-renowned aerial acts at the festival’s airshow, rated as one of the top 10 in the country. More than 40 hot air balloons also color the Portland sky for
one of the festival’s many competitive events.
On the ground, audiences love to watch the more than 30 floats, horse units and regional and national marching bands participating in the second-largest, all-floral parade in the nation—the Grand Floral Parade.
The festival boasts two weekends of high-speed auto
