(Portland, OR) -- The Rose Festival Parade will be back in Portland this year, after being canceled the last two years because of the pandemic. The festival is adding a special kick-off Rose City Reunion concert with the Oregon Symphony on Thursday, May 26th in Waterfront Park. It'll feature the world premiere of "From One Rose," a special musical piece written by the Festival's own Ron Carr, and arranged by Emmy award-winning composer Bruce Broughton. The Starlight Parade, Junior Parade and the Grand Floral Parade will all be held during the festival.
