Portland Rose Festival
Downtown Portland Hotels
Portland isn’t dubbed the “City of Roses” for nothing! For over 100 years — each year in June – everything here comes up roses!
This annual celebration is truly a city tradition. Events and festivities are held throughout the city and include three parades, a hot-air balloon race and a waterfront carnival. Military ships also dock downtown and are open for public tours.
When you feel like stopping to smell the roses and participate in all that goes on, there’s no better venue from which to navigate than Hotel Fifty. How come?
Because Waterfront Village is the Rose Festival’s largest attraction and located where else? Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Directly across from Hotel Fifty! The three-week festival format delivers great fun, great food, great entertainment and great experiences for all ages.
There’s opening night fireworks, festival-long concerts, carnivals, Pacific Northwest Barbecue Championship, Barbeque & Brew and Carnival of Roses theme week events. Culinary and entertainment options abound.
The Rose Festival comprises more than sixty events over seventeen days!
