The Mock’s Crest Theatre company puts on a Rose Festival drama at Mago Hunt throughout the month of June. But back in the day, UP students built floats for the Grand Floral Parade. We’ve uncovered some photos and articles from the Festival’s Golden Jubilee and share them in our latest entry on the Museum and Archives Blog with a bonus: color video of the 1958 UP float!
As a complement to the blog entry, the museum also has a photograph and artifacts display of UP’s 1988 Rose Festival parade entry and Queen’s Trophy in the display case on the first floor of Buckley Center near the studies abroad office.
