Lance, buddy boy, this actually happens to be the centennial anniversary of our fair city’s Rose Festival. So if there’s a year to feel the festival spirit, this is a good one. It’s true, I enjoy a parade. It’s a heaping slice of American Pie.

This year especially there’s all kinds of stuff going on. Like the Starlight Parade (June 2) and the Grand Floral Parade (June 9), both of which pass near the Hotel Deluxe. I know what I’ll be doing on my breaks! I posted a schedule of events at the front desk, but I’ve taken the liberty of selecting a few recommendations just for you:

1. Rose Festival Dragon Boat Races.

2. Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland at the Portland International Raceway.

3. There’s even a Rose Festival movie!

You know you’ve got the festival fever now… *ha*
