For over one hundred years, the Portland Rose Festival has served families and individuals from Oregon and beyond with events and programs that spotlight the riches of our Pacific Northwest heritage and environment while offering colorful examples of many international cultures. Attended by more than one million people, the festival is annually one of the top three most highly decorated events by the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) and in 2007 was named Best Festival in the World. Among the festival's most popular events are the KeyBank Grand Floral Parade, one of the nation's top two all-floral parades, and the Waterfront Village, which features the Best Children's Programming in the World, according to the IFEA.

On the heels of the successful Lewis & Clark Exhibition of 1905, Mayor Harry Lane decided the city should have a festival of roses. In those early years, horse-drawn floats, aquatic events, and fireworks highlighted the Festival. Following the 1907 event, a group of 10 businessmen formally organized the Portland Rose Festival as a nonprofit organization (now called the Portland Rose Festival Foundation) to plan and finance the annual event. In 2007, the Rose Festival featured a Century of Celebration in its most elaborate incarnation ever.


A BIG thank you to Dennis' 7 Dees for all of their support in our garden and landscaping needs. In honor of both Oregon's sesquicentennial and the Portland Rose Festival, Oregon's premier celebration, Dennis' 7 Dees is selling the exclusive "Oregon Celebration" rose. This beautiful sunshine yellow rose will be available exclusively in Oregon. A sport of the famous and award-winning "Strike it Rich" rose, "Oregon Celebration" will be a delightful and historic addition to in any garden.
Dennis’ 7 Dees will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Portland Rose Festival Foundation and Oregon 150 for each rose sold, making your purchase a contribution to this historic event!

BooksDid you know that the Rose Festival is one of the cleanest and greenst festivals in the world?


The Rose Festival has been consistently ranked as the "Cleanest & Greenest" Festival in America by the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) for eleven years running!

The Rose Festival Partners with SOLV, PGE, City of Portland's Maintenance Bureau, several private sanitation companies, and hundreds of volunteers more than a decade ago to build a groundbreaking parade clean-up model, setting an industry standard.

The Rose Festival annually provides restorative funds to the Portland Parks Department to restore Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park to its natural state.

The Waterfront Village recycles over 7 tons of trash annually.

And now... The Waterfront Village is powered by PGE renewable energy! The bright lights at this year's Rose Festival Waterfront Village will shine especially cleanly thanks to power supplied from new wind farms in Oregon and Washington. Portland General Electric (PGE) will help the Rose Festival meet its commitment to environmental sustainability by buying renewable wind energy for the Waterfront Village –- an estimated total of 106,000-kilowatt hours of power.


For a little "GREEN" fun, play this game! And remember to GO GREEN!
