Since its beginning in 1933, the Texas Rose Festival has represented the spirit that brings Tyler together as a community.
Rich in heritage and tradition, the Festival offers enchanting ceremonial events – the Queen’s Coronation, Ribbon Cutting and Rose Presentation, the Queen’s Tea, and the Rose Parade – all amidst a backdrop of brilliant roses as vibrant and colorful as the community they represent.
The Texas Rose Festival is held the third weekend of October every year, and the Tyler Rose Garden is open year-round.
