2018 Grand Floral Parade Credits

The 2018 entry, including the elegant floral float, represents a major Chinese community achievement with support and contributions from across the community.   The beautiful floral float is a major financial commitment for this Organizing Committee.  The decision was difficult, however, we consider this float to be the once-in-a-century event, with the last Portland Chinese Community Rose Festival floral float entry in 1923.

The Organizing Committee and the Northwest Chinese Alliance wish to express their deep appreciations to all the community leaders, sponsors, partners, and supporters for making this entry possible.  We have made very attempt to make the following list as complete as possible.  If your organization is left out by mistake, please accept our sincere apologies and email us to let us know.
