The Tournament of Roses invites young ladies to

Court, began a legacy of service to our community.

in their footsteps serving as ambassadors of the 
Tournament of Roses. Each Royal Court has paved 
the way for the next, creating lifelong friendships, 
exciting experiences and memories that will last a 
lifetime.

requirements are encouraged to apply and 
participate in one of the initial interview sessions

interview sessions will receive a ticket for two 
people to attend the Royal Ball, a semi-formal 
dance hosted by the Tournament of Roses at the 
Pasadena Convention Center on September 23.
