Festival Ball

The Queen Contestants' Cherry Blossom Festival experience will come to a culmination at the Festival Ball on Sunday, March 26, 2006 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom. The ballroom doors open at 4:15 p.m. and will be followed by the program and dinner. On this exciting evening, the contestants will show their family and friends the result of all their hard work over the last six months. They will be demonstrating their poise, self confidence, stage presence and speaking ability while dressed in beautiful evening gowns and authentic silk furisode kimonos. The kimonos (which are specifically selected to compliment each contestant by Sensei Kumiko Sakai) are flown in especially for the festival by Diamond Sponsor Watabe Wedding. The Festival Ball will also feature the last official appearance of the 53rd Cherry Blossom Festival Queen, Brooke Hasegawa, and the members of the 53rd Court. Before the night is over, a panel of distinguished judges will select the new Cherry Blossom Festival Queen, First Princess and three Princesses. Miss Popularity and Miss Congeniality will also be announced and join the new Queen, First Princess and Princesses as the 54th Cherry Blossom Festival Court. We invite everyone to join us for this very special evening. The ticket price for the Festival Ball includes dinner.
