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, the Rose Show, the Queen's Tea, the Rose Parade - all amidst a backdrop of brilliant roses as vibrant and colorful as the community they represent.
We invite you to join us this year as the City of Roses celebrates its 76th annual Texas Rose Festival October 8th-10th, 2009.
Queen Emily Anne Austin will reign over the 2009 Texas Rose Festival. She is the daughter of Mr. Jeff Austin III and Ms. Holly Austin.
Miss Callie Elaine Worthen will serve as Duchess of the Rose Growers. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Worthen.
