Sam Barlow High School Marching Band (from Gresham, Oregon); with a drum major (or two?) in front, crowds on the sidewalk, and a Kentucky Fried Chicken, with a large sign, in the background. With a faded vintage look. Photo probably by Hazel M. Falk. -JBF

A Star Wars-themed float; with Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Obi-Wan Kenobi figures; seen from the side and back; a white-suited Royal Rosarian walking, and with two large buildings behind. -JBF

A couple parental photos; Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade; 10 June, 1978. From negatives. I was (briefly) a member of the marching band depicted, a little over a year later. #analogphotography #negative #portlandoregon #rosefestival #starwars

Here are a few more highlights from the #Portland #RoseFestival, Fleet Week ships, carnival rides, and another over-the-top float made entirely of flowers. Gorgeous day for a walk along the waterfront!

Today’s the last day of the #Portland #RoseFestival! 🌹 I missed the parade yesterday but was lucky to catch these incredible floats afterward, each one made entirely of flowers.

Today’s parade was very enjoyable. Great to see all the people enjoying the city.

Parades are about people enjoying people.

Navy Ships at Rose Festival 1908
This photo was probably taken during the 1908 Rose Festival when the “Mosquito Squadron” visited Portland. The destroyers Preble, Perry and Farragut, and the torpedo boats Fox and Davis were among the ships in attendance. #portland #oregon #rosefestival #navy #boats
