We will enjoy the Starlight Parade after dinner in our private suite overlooking 4th Avenue. But first, we will see the Starlight Run. Portland’s most popular Fun Run is cheered by more than 250,000 spectators who line Starlight Parade route to see the costumed competition up close. More than 4,000 runners are projected this year. The Starlight Run is not only the largest Fun Run in Oregon, but also the most entertaining – with participants vying not only to break the tape, but to claim prizes for best individual and group costumes
The Starlight Parade offers funky, eclectic fun for everyone. From traditional marching bands and flood-lit floats, to glow-in-the-dark umbrellas and unique hand-built entries, you’ll see the best of Portland’s diverse community groups (and surrounding Northwest region) together in one whimsical pageant.
The Parade continues a longtime festival tradition from the early 1900s, when illuminated floats built on electric trolley cars made their way through the city on trolley tracks. Today, participants light up the night with approximately 100 illuminated entries. The parade draws more than 250,000 spectators to downtown Portland. Don’t miss the fun of one of the Rose Festival’s best and brightest traditions
Portland Prime is located in Embassy Suites hotel and features the freshest northwest seafood available, prime steaks and chops, pastas, wood-fired oven baking specialties, and an extensive selection of appetizers. This dinner will feature Italian specialties prepared by Executive Chef Shayne Unea.
