Nothing says "Let's get the Focus on Fun started!" quite like carnival rides, live music, food, drink and fireworks! Expect to see the skies light up over downtown Portland with a fireworks display choreographed to its own soundtrack (best seen and heard inside CityFair). A full concert by the Nu Wavers will warm up the crowd and the fireworks begin just after dark.
Opening ribbon cutting: 5pm
Rosarians should plan to meet at the Rose Festival Foundation offices no later than 4:30 pm, at 1020 SW Naito Parkway, Portland 97204 where we will escort Queen Senya and the 2023 Rose Festival Court in a processional to the Ribbon Cutting at 5:00 pm at the Waterfront Park.
Rosarians wear Whites, Capes, Gloves, Hats. If you do not have your White Suit, Green Jacket with Black pants is ok.
