Description:

From 84th Annual Texas Rose Festival Website:

The festival is a celebration of the rose industry that thrives in Tyler. Seven Tyler-area companies process and distribute several million roses each year, making the city deserving of its Rose Capital title. About 75% of all roses in the country are handled in Tyler.

The first Tyler Rose Festival was organized by Tyler Garden Club members, local rose growers and the Chamber of Commerce in October 1933 to showcase the importance of the rose industry to Tyler.

The theme of the event was "Festival Fairyland", and included a parade, rose queen's coronation and a rose show.

The first festival was a success, and the decision was made to continue the event, and the 1934 festival had as its theme "A Garden in Venice".

The annual event was renamed the Texas Rose Festival during the Texas Centennial in 1936.
