Pageant, parade highlight Annual Rose Festival

Get ready for a weekend of festive fun at the Rose Festival!

The excitement begins with the Miss Wasco Rose Queen Pageant, where the community's most graceful and talented young women will compete for the coveted crown. On Friday, immerse yourself in joyful celebration and recognition at the Wasco Elk Ladies' Evening of Wine and Roses-an event that promises a delightful blend of fine wines and special moments.

Saturday is packed with activities, starting with the Color Blast Fun Run, an exciting and energetic way to kick off the day. Enjoy a hearty Pancake Breakfast before catching the Rose Festival Parade, where the streets will come alive with floats, bands and cheer. Explore the Wasco Historical Museum during its Open House, then head over to Barker Park for the Wasco Rose Festival featuring food vendors, live music, a car show and an art show. Cap off the day with a delicious Drive-Thru Deep Pit Dinner and try your luck at Casino Night. And don't miss the Men's Basketball Tournament, heating up the courts all weekend!
