Congratulations to San Francisco's first ever International Rose Escort
Leo "Liam" McFadden!

The San Francisco Rose Center is delighted to congratulate Leo "Liam" McFadden on his selection as one of the Rose of Tralee's International Festival escorts. Leo was born and raised in San Francisco, attending St. Cecilia's Catholic School and Archbishop Riordan High School. He went on to serve in the Marine Corps before returning to pursue his college degree. In 2023, his sister Katie McFadden represented San Francisco in the Rose of Tralee, where he experienced the excitement and camaraderie of the festival first hand. After that, he knew he wanted to become involved and successfully applied to be an escort. We wish him and the McFadden Family all the best as they return to Tralee for another unforgettable festival experience!
