We’re excited that the Rose Festival invited the League of Women Voters of Portland to march in the 2024 Grand Floral Parade on Saturday, June 8!
Our participation was fun for our marchers and provided an exciting visual element for the parade’s viewers. It was also a meaningful recognition of important milestones for our state, county and city. With all the important issues in the 2024 general election, we enjoyed celebrating the League and the work we are doing. In this key election year, it was the perfect time to raise awareness about the League!
We were a “marching entry” behind a large League banner, and with flags, sashes, and many signs (e.g. “Votes for Women” or “LWV.”) Our suffrage colors were yellow, white, and purple.
