Seven Tyler-area companies process and distribute several million roses each year, making the city deserving of its “Rose Capital” title. The festival is a celebration of the rose industry that thrives in Tyler. Today, rose growers still offer blooms and volunteers still help decorate floats with live roses. In the earlier years of the parade, rose growers supplied hundreds of dozens of rose blooms, and garden clubs worked through the night before the parade to decorate floats using the roses. The parade is typically televised and sponsored by KETK - NBC56. It also includes marching bands, walking groups, drill teams, mounted horse clubs, and vintage cars.
The annual parade features more than 100 entries including custom floats for the Queen and her court.
