Portland Rose Festival Returns This Year With 'Reunion' Theme
After two years of virtual events, the Rose Festival is planning on coming back strong this May.
PORTLAND, OR — It's been a tough two years for Oregonians looking to enjoy the area's premier parade and early almost summer festival. The Portland Rose Festival was canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While things could change, festival organizers say they plan on coming back strong this year with in-person events again.
Things are scheduled to kick off on May 27 with the Rose Festival opening night and fireworks celebration and the opening of CityFair.
