Since it began in 1961, the Welland Rose Festival has brought together the people of Welland to celebrate our history, heritage and community. The Festival is comprised of several events, including the Coronation Ball, the Street Dance, the Art Exhibition, Days In The Park, the Children’s Fishing Derby, the Baby Show and the Grande Parade. The completely volunteer run organization enlists the help of dedicated individuals, community partners and sponsors every year to make these events a success.
