Portland Rose Festival: Grand Floral Parade

Portland Rose Festival: Grand Floral Parade
Saturday, June 7
10 a.m. – Noon
Downtown Portland

Watch as Oregon Staters represent our state’s largest and statewide public research university at Portland’s iconic Grand Floral Parade: the crown jewel of the Rose Festival and a tradition more than a century strong.

From spectacular floral floats to marching bands to equestrian units to vintage cars, it’s a full-on celebration of the Portland community, where more than 61,000 Oregon State alumni live — fittingly themed “All Together Now.”

This year, the OSU Foundation and Alumni Association are proud to sponsor the celebration alongside OSU Extension and Engagement. After several years, the two-mile march is returning to a downtown route in 2025 — meaning the journey will pass near the OSU Portland Center that anchors Beaver Nation in Pioneer Square!
