Volunteer Parade Guides help support Rose Festival parades to ensure safety of participants and spectators by actively managing street closure barricades.
Volunteers will 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 the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM). You will have to make an account first but PBEM staff take it from there making it easy to help while keeping Portland Parades safe for everyone! REGISTER: https://pbem.link/rosefestival
Volunteers are kindly requested to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Dress in layers that allow for temperature changes and plan for raingear. Bringing water and sunscreen is highly recommended, and if you like, a folding chair.
Equipment Provided: Incursion barricade, safety vests, and Rose Festival Team Pins Equipment Needed: Cell phone, emergency contact number for team/section lead
The Portland Rose Festival Foundation is a non-profit that serves families and individuals with programs and events that promote the arts, education and volunteerism. We value environmental responsibility, diversity, patriotism and our historic & floral heritage. Part of Portland’s popular culture for more than a century, the Rose Festival has its roots in tradition while its programming is both contemporary and nostalgic. With over 120 community, cultural and affinity groups this year, the Rose Festival is one of the most enjoyable ways to make a positive difference in the place we live.
Join the Parades by lending a hand and play a crucial role in making downtown Portland active and fun! Parade Guides help support Rose Festival parades to ensure safety of participants and spectators by actively managing street closure barricades. Volunteers act as the "eyes and ears" around the parade route and work with our on-site safety team to report any incidents. Join the groups decorating the magnificent Big Floats or help create the beautiful Mini-floats. Being creative is rewarded by decorating the Grand Floral Parade floats. Float decorators help paint the base colors for each float and decorate with live materials like seeds, beans, rice, and, of course, FLOWERS!
