The Portland Rose Festival is committed now more than ever to sustainability.
- Consistently ranked "Cleanest & Greenest" Festival in America by the International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA) for ten years running -- a full decade!
- Partnered with SOLV, PGE, City of Portland's Maintenance Bureau, several private sanitation companies, and hundreds of volunteers more than a decade ago to build a groundbreaking parade clean-up model, setting an industry standard.
- Annually provide restorative funds to the Portland Parks Department to restore Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park to its natural state.
- Waterfront Village recycles over 7 tons of trash annually.
- Parker Johnstone's Wilsonville Honda, the official dealership of the Rose Festival Parades, provides the Portland Rose Festival with exceptional Honda vehicles that have earned recognition from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) as the "greenest vehicles" of 2006. Environmentology™ is Honda's ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible technology. For more information about Parker Johnstone's Wilsonville Honda and the vehicles they carry in the largest covered lot in Oregon, please visit www.wilsonvillehonda.com.
And now... The Waterfront Village is powered by PGE renewable energy! The bright lights at this year's Rose Festival Waterfront Village will shine especially cleanly thanks to power supplied from new wind farms in Oregon and Washington. Portland General Electric (PGE) will help the Rose Festival meet its commitment to environmental sustainability by buying renewable wind energy for the Waterfront Village –- an estimated total of 106,000-kilowatt hours of power.
