The announcement of the Rose Queen, who is selected from the seven young women on the Royal Court, is one of the most exciting events in the lead up to the Rose Parade on Jan. 1. The coronation of the 101st Rose Queen takes place on Oct. 23, 2018, and readers can be there to see it real time. E-Tickets are now on sale at Sharp Seating at $40 for the general public and $15 for students.
The celebration starts with a reception on the patio of the Pasadena Playhouse, 39 S. El Molino, at 5:30 p.m. The program begins at 7 p.m. A video of exciting moments in the life of the three-week-old Royal Court is played, and each young lady is interviewed. The presentation of the Rose Princesses in their formal gowns follows, and Pres. Gerald Freeny opens the envelope containing the name of the Rose Queen.
For all the news on the Royal Court and lots of photos, be sure to check out the Royal Court page on The Rose Examiner website.
Hi there. The link to Sharp Seating is a dead link. Please direct the link to http://www.sharpseating.com. There is a link from our homepage to purchase Coronation tickets. Thank you. We appreciate your support.
Thanks for catching that, Lisa! I thought I had checked the link, but I guess I missed it.
