Royalty Ambassador Scholarship Pageant

February 21, 2026 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

The 2026 Royalty Ambassador Scholarship Pageant was held on February 21, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Sequim High School Auditorium.


The Royalty Ambassadors represent Sequim and accompany the festival float as it travels throughout Western Washington, participating in a variety of community festivals.


The Royalty Ambassador Scholarship Pageant and the selection of the Royal Ambassador Court are among the first activities for the 131st Sequim Irrigation Festival in 2026, Washington State’s longest continuously running festival. The Royal Ambassador Court is one of the most visible and celebrated parts of the Irrigation Festival.


In addition to traveling with the float, the Royalty Ambassadors make appearances at events throughout the community to represent the Sequim Irrigation Festival and participate in local community service. In return, members of the Royal Ambassador Court each receive a scholarship (one $1,250 scholarship and three $1,000 scholarships), travel and float wardrobes, parade travel expenses, speech and poise training, volunteer hours, and the opportunity to build lifelong friendships both within the community and across the state.
