PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — With a slew of last-minute volunteers, the CareOregon Starlight Parade once again hit the streets of Portland Saturday night.
Rose Festival organizers said earlier in the week volunteers were badly needed for the parades, especially the Starlight Parade. The volunteers stepped up and the Starlight Parade rolled.
It began at 8 p.m. on Naito Parkway near the CityFair and ended at Providence Park with 2023 Grand Marshal Poison Waters.
The floats in the annual Starlight Parade illuminated the streets of Portland. Floats, bands and performers in this parade were all lit with lights and glow sticks. The parade included bands, rodeo queens, classic cars and more.
Thousands of people lined the streets along the route.
