If you take the 2 million visitors to Portland's Rose Festival and give them all big, gloriously puffy wands of cotton candy, how many napkins would you need?

Now in its 101st year, this iconic Portland celebration takes over Waterfront Park for 18 glorious days in June. The festival entices people from all over the world with such attractions as carnival rides, dragon boat races, queen's coronation, Starlight parade and the Grand Floral Parade, one of the nation's top two all-floral parades.
