Hollywood is home to the Junior Rose Parade and the annual Veteran's day parade. The Hollywood Casino Night happens once a year and is the largest fundraiser for the organization.

Casino Night (April)

Historically Casino Night is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Boosters.  Whether you’re a gambler or not, be sure to get in on the fun at the Hollywood Boosters Casino Night in April. It will again be held at 42nd Street Station, 2000 NE 42nd Street.

 

Hollywood businesses donate prizes, ranging from gift baskets to gift certificates for dinner. Gamblers “purchase” prizes at the end of the evening with their winnings.  One year's top prize was a gasfired barbeque grill donated by Albina Fuel and Pacific Energy Systems. In addition, numerous door prizes are awarded throughout the evening. No "gambler" goes away empty handed at the end of the evening.

 

Purchase advance admission tickets from any Booster Board member.

Clean Up Day

Help us sweep Hollywood on the second Saturday of every month.  We meet at 8 a.m. at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream store on Northeast 39th and Hancock.

 

Bring appropriate yard tools and debris bags. Wear your grubbies.

 

Business owner Kim Cottrell noticed problems with trash and weeds in Hollywood streets while biking to work. She decided to take action, and talked with a group of Boosters to get the event underway.

Junior Rose Parade (June)

Since its inception, Portland's Rose Festival has included a children's parade. The first Rose Festival in 1907 included a parade of 2000 boys and girls representing 23 schools! Hollywood is the home of the Junior Rose Parade, which became official in 1936.


The Hollywood Boosters, one of Portland's oldest and largest neighborhood business associations, has been an active supporter and 'host' of the Junior Rose Parade for decades, serving as marshals and volunteers. We look forward to playing a positive role in supporting the Rose Festival in general and the nation's largest children's parade, the Junior Parade, in particular far into the future. 


We encourage all children, young adults, parents and those who are young at heart to attend tthe Junior Parade typically scheduled for the first Wedesday in June.
