Hey Soul District Business Association! Join us by volunteering for Rose Festival

Summer is near, join us outside at the Portland Rose Festival for one of the most enjoyable ways to get involved in your community. Rose Festival events highlight over 120 community, cultural and affinity groups this year across all our events.

CareOregon Starlight Parade - June 1
Fred Meyer Junior Parade - June 5
Grand Floral Parade - June 8

Parade Guides help support the three Rose Festival parades by ensuring the safety of participants and spectators by actively managing street closure barricades. Volunteers help act as the "eyes and ears" around the parade route and work with our on-site safety team to report any incidents.
Sign up to be a Parade Guide through our partner, the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) by creating an account with your name and email.

Remember Rose Festival Porch Parades? Only a couple years ago we all created our own fun festival environment - and we did - but 2024 Rose Festival is back!

Who's talking Parades?
Everyone loves a Parade - sure! What they do for a community is the lovely part.
Are you participating in National Volunteer Month (hint: it's April)?
