| Additional Information | The Carnival of Roses was a rose-themed parade first held in 1896. The 1901 event that this button refers to was the second Carnival of Roses, held to honor a visit to San Jose by President McKinnley. The parade took place in the Alameda, a now historic district of the city. Another Carnival was held in 1910m and again in 1926 under the new name "Fiesta de la Rosas" in honor of San Jose's Spanish heritage. The last Fiestas de la Rosas was held in 1969. In 2008, a similar parade tradition, "The Rose, White and Blue," began, and continues be be held, as of 2024.
