One of Portland s most iconic signs was given an inspirational upgrade Friday morning, April 24, 2020. The illuminated neon rose, which sits above the Portland Rose Festival Foundation s building on Tom McCall Waterfront Park, has had the word “hope” added on both sides of the sign to encourage Portlanders during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Rose Festival Treasure Hunt is notorious for its complex, often maddening clues that send dedicated treasure hunters into a frenzied, two-week search through the Portland metropolitan area each spring.

The Portland Rose Festival will move forward without its big outdoor events in 2021, and sets the countdown clock to the biggest and best fireworks ever in 2022. The 2021 Festival season will continue with key events and programs during the traditional Rose Festival time, late May and June.
Rose Festival Princess announcements begin at the end of March, and an active, engaged Rose Festival Court will be presented to the community in May and June as health restrictions allow; the 2021 Rose Festival Queen will be announced at an outdoor Coronation ceremony in June; Virtual Fleet Week returns in June; the traditional Rose Festival Treasure Hunt kicks off Memorial Day weekend, and the Porch Parade and Roses for Hope celebration is back by popular demand.
