The historic Portland Rose Festival comes alive this summer better than ever! There’s multiple parades, live entertainment, concerts in the park, movie premieres. This event is perfect for native Oregonians who want to celebrate the rich culture and great heritage of the Pacific Northwest, but is also a great way for newcomers to the state to get a taste of this historic experience. The International Festivals & Events Association named the Rose Festival the Best Festival in the world last year, and no wonder! With community outreach programs, educational programs for the Student Film Project, and educational children’s programming, this is an event you do not want to miss!
