This fall, thousands will make their way to Tyler to enjoy the long-standing tradition of the Texas Rose Festival. In the meantime, the reigning queen and her court will get started early, representing the Rose City with pride alongside a host of volunteers who will work for months to bring the festival to life.

The Winter Gala and Tyler Rose Museum Benefit was held Friday night at Willow Brook Country Club in Tyler as a kickoff to the 92nd festival, which will be held Oct. 16-19. At the gala, the festival’s highly-anticipated theme and members of the court were revealed.
