For a hundred years, the KeyBank Grand Floral Parade has helped bring worldwide attention to the Portland Rose Festival as thousands of people line the streets of downtown Portland.

This was one of the popular floats at the Grand Floral Parade.

The 4.3 mile route began at the Memorial Coliseum in Northeast Portland, moved along MLK Jr. Boulevard, crossed the river on Burnside, and then went through downtown before wrapping up near PGE Park and Lincoln High School in Southwest Portland.
