St. Patrick's Day Royal Candidates and Coronation:

Each year the Parade Committee selects a Queen or King to be a special representative in the pageantry of the Lawrence St. Patrick's Day Parade. Our other candidates also participate in the parade as part of the Royal Court. Choosing only one of these candidates is a difficult task and in no way diminishes the efforts of any of the others or the pride that all we feel in their achievements.

This is the evening that we honor them for the hard work they completed during the parade season. It's an evening of celebration and thanks to our candidates – and it's the only event of the year that they don't help run. Join us to celebrate this special group.

Time: 5 p.m.

Location: Cider Gallery, 810 Pennsylvania, Lawrence, KS

Cost: FREE, but there is a cost for dinner.
