Rose Festival Fireworks Spectacular (27-May-2011)

May 26, 2011 by Dave Leave a Comment

Fireworks!The 2011 Rose Lighting Ceremony & Fireworks spectacular takes place Friday, May 27.

Portland’s downtown waterfront illuminates during the Fireworks Spectacular, the Portland Rose Festival’s kick-off event.

One of Oregon’s largest fireworks displays, this thunderous pyrotechnics show soars over CityFair beginning at nightfall.

Festivities begin at 8pm at Tom McCall Waterfront Park with a special performance by the Curtis Salgado Band.

The Rose Lighting Ceremony takes place at 9:45pm, followed at 10pm by the one of the state’s largest fireworks displays.

(After the Milk Carton Boat races – May 12, 2011 – the fireworks are my favorite part of the Rose Festival.)

Admission is free, and the good fireworks viewing can be found any place with a nice view of the Willamette River downtown.
