TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – The Texas Rose Festival held its annual kickoff on Friday night.
Members of the court gathered to kick off preparations for the festival, which will be held October 15-18 in Tyler.
This year’s theme is “Celebration Through the Seasons.”
“You can expect to see all the seasons and holidays portrayed through everyone’s dresses. And it’s super fun,” said this year’s Rose Queen, Claire Malone. “There are even costumes that you wouldn’t have even thought of. They’re just the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen.”
