Step into a garden of tradition, beauty, and community spirit at the Texas Rose Festival, a storied celebration that has brought Tyler together every year since 1933. Join in a weekend of ceremonial events, cultural festivities, and floral wonder that pay tribute to the region’s rose-growing legacy.

This year’s theme is “A Tapestry of Tales”—a fitting motif for a festival that weaves together history, pageantry, and the stories of generations who have nurtured the “Rose Capital of America.”

Festival highlights include:

The Queen’s Coronation & Rose Court ceremony

Ribbon Cutting & Rose Presentation

Queen’s Tea and hospitality events

Rose Parade featuring floats, marching bands, equestrian units, and community groups

Floral exhibits, art shows, and local vendor fairs

Activities for all ages and photo moments among magnificent rose displays

Whether you’re drawn by the pageantry, the flowers, or the chance to be part of Tyler’s heart and heritage, the Texas Rose Festival provides a memorable experience for visitors, families, and residents alike.
