“The Portland General Electric/SOLV Starlight Parade offers funky, eclectic fun for the whole family! From traditional marching bands and flood-lit floats, to glow-in-the-dark umbrellas and hand-built entries, you’ll see the best of Portland’s diverse community groups and entries from the surrounding Northwest region. One of our most popular events, the parade draws more than 250,000 spectators to downtown Portland, and is also broadcast live from 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. on KGW News Channel 8. This year the Starlight Parade is proud to welcome the Northwest’s own Seth Aaron Henderson, recent winner of Project Runway, as our Grand Marshal”. -Presented by Portland General Electric/SOLV and Portland Rose Festival.
