Thousands lined downtown streets for more than five hours May 31 as well-lit floats, marching bands and runners entertained along the route.

As part of the festivities, people voted with pennies for one of three young women vying to portray Rose Festival’s first elected queen, Thelma Hollingsworth.

This is the 100th anniversary of the festival’s first elected queen. In 1914, festivalgoers cast votes for the queen with pennies.

On Saturday, 163,453 votes were cast, naming Shelby Hansmann (who won with 61,630 votes), as Queen Thelma. Hansmann, a David Douglas High School student, will be decked in ornate splendor as Queen Thelma and ride on The Oregonian Float in the Grand Floral Parade, Saturday, June 7. The Parade starts at 10 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Leading the Starlight night off, 5,500 runners took to the streets in Portland's largest mobile costume contest, the 5k Legacy Health Starlight Run. Phil Padilla of Portland won the men’s division with a time of 16:20. Carrie Heineck of Portland won the women’s division with a time of 19:18.
