You'll cheer for the fantastic all-floral floats, stirring marching bands including the Portland Rose Festival One More Time Around Again Marching Band presented by Standard TV & Appliance and beautifully-decorated equestrian units as they pass by along the 4.3 mile parade route. The parade route winds its way from Memorial Coliseum to downtown Portland. The Grand Floral Parade is the second largest all-floral parade in North America and the largest, single-day spectator event in Oregon.
