Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade Moves Downtown
(Portland, OR) -- The Portland Rose Festival is moving the Grand Floral Parade back downtown. For the last three years, the parade route was exclusively on the east side of the Willamette River. Last year, the Rose Festival lost over a million dollars and the shorter parade route downtown will help save money. The parade will start at Waterfront Park near the Morrison Bridge and end near Providence Park.
