Princess Promenade is the official kickoff of the 82nd annual Daffodil Festival season in Pierce County.  One of Pierce County’s fondest traditions is the ceremonial recognition and appointment of each year’s Daffodil Princesses.  The event is the start of ten months of serving the county, cities, and citizens in many capacities.  Education, Mentoring Children, and Community Service are the platforms that will have seen the Royalty appearing at over 240 events throughout Pierce County.

The event will feature each young woman being tapped and proclaimed an official Daffodil Princess.  Here, they will each receive their tiara, sash and traditional Golden Daffodil.  This is the first time the Royal Court will be presented to the public.

After the tapping ceremony, the young women will receive their Daffodil Princess title and be presented with  Resolution R2015-12 that names the Daffodil Festival Royalty as Official Ambassadors of Pierce County.

A receiving line will conclude the evening with time for interviews and comments from any Princesses for the media.  Media, please check-in with your name to the attendants for recognition and seating assignments.  Media packets with additional information will be available.
