The signature event of the P ort­
land Rose Festival is the Southwest
Airlines G rand Floral Parade. The
streets of Portland will be filled with
excitement on Ju n e 12 as colorful
all-floral floats, entertaining m arch­
ing bands, and splendid equestrian
units wind their way down the 4.2-
mile route.
The G rand Floral Parade is the
single-largest spectator event in O r­
egon and the second largest all-flo­
ral parade in the United States. More
than 550,000 spectators line the
streets to witness this spectator
event. And these are not your aver­
age spectators. Portland is likely the
only city where parade-lovers stake
out space along the route days in
advance by placing their folding
chairs on sidewalks. Even more un­
usual, these staked out spots go
undisturbed by police or passers- S
by. The parade is aired live on
local television and is syndicated
to more than 30 million house­
holds nationwide.
