Our honored tradition of Tulip Time Royalty

Since it’s inception, the Tulip Festival’s much beloved queen and court have been a prominent fixture in our festivities.  The first queen was crowned in 1937. Except for the war years of 1942-1946, a queen  and her court have reigned each festival.  Presently, six high school seniors are selected by the public and a pageant is held to crown the queen. A panel of judges is assisted by the public in selecting a queen.
