Come join your Rosarian friends for a Purely Social and Parade in honor of our nation's birthday.

When: July 4, 2026

Time: Parade starts at 10:00, but see notes below about early arrival at the Horton's for pre-parade gathering. 

Dress: Whites, capes, hats, and gloves (green for those who are suitless). Most people bring a change of clothes for the post parade Social (no ketchup on those white suits!!)

Read on for details about arrival time, parking, and most importantly, the PURELY SOCIAL!!

You are invited to the Horton's house for a Purely Social before and after the parade! Coffee and buns will be ready when you arrive. Plan to arrive before 8:30, as the police start closing off roads at that time, and it may get tricky to drive near the house. 
 
The Hortons will provide post-parade hamburgers and hot dogs, we bring the rest: 
 
Last Names A through L - Salad
Last Names M through Z - dessert
If you aren't a cook, bring chips and beer!
 
Meet at the Hortons: 434 NE Birchwood Drive Hillsboro OR 97214, (make sure you look for Birchwood DRIVE as there is also a Birchwood Terr, Lane, Rd!!)
 
Directions: Use these rather than Nav, as some roads will be closed

Take  Highway 26 to Jackson School Road, Jackson School Road to right turn onto Evergreen Road, Evergreen Road for 200 yards to left turn onto Jackson School Road (yes, Jackson School Rd. again), take Jackson School Road  to stop sign at NE Grant, cross over Grant for one long block and left turn onto Edison Street, 2 blocks to easy left turn onto Birchwood Drive.

Note that additional roads may be closed due to a Fun Run that starts at 7:30. Maps are your friend!!

Even if you are coming from the South please come around to approach from the North.  You will save yourself time and aggravation.  Don’t be the ugly Rosarian!

 
Parking: on street, along or near Birchwood Drive. The Horton's house is within the parade route, so if you need to leave before 12:30, park by/on Delsey Road.
