FESTIVAL QUEEN COMPETITION

A fairly recent but popular addition to Pirates Week, the Festival Queen competition, is essentially a ‘costume fashion show’ that draws hundreds of people every year.

Contestants don’t have to sing, dance or answer questions; they just show up with costumes of their own designs, parade their creations before the judges, and smile as their supporters roar encouragement. The result is a glittering array of colour and excitement on the downtown street. This event is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture.

Held on Friday 12 November at 6.50pm it is organised by the Beauty Club of Grand Cayman, you can contact Dwight McLean for more information at 345 323 3617.
