Shu-Te High School, Taiwan. Photo by Brian RossThe Rose Festival's signature event, the KeyBank Grand Floral Parade, will wow hundreds of thousands of spectators on Portland's streets with larger-than-life, all-floral floats, high-stepping marching bands and impressive equestrian units. The best way to guarantee a prime seating location for the grandest parade on the Rose Festival calendar is to purchase tickets for reserved seats inside or outside the Memorial Coliseum. Every parade entry passes through the Coliseum (with ticket holders enjoying climate-controlled comfort) before hitting the streets for the rest of the four mile route.

Discount is for online purchases only, and does not apply to purchases by phone, at ticket outlets or at the box office. May not be combined with any other ticket discount offer. Excludes super-saver ($15) seating. Handling fees and order charges may apply.
