ABOUT OUR
ROYALTY PROGRAM
The Montevideo Fiesta, Inc. Royalty Program offers individuals the opportunity to impact, influence, and enrich our community. As we celebrate our relationship with our Sister City in Montevideo, Uruguay, one of the components of the week is the crowning of the Montevideo Fiesta Days Royalty. There will be the opportunity for three individuals to be crowned, along with our junior prince and junior princess. These individuals will take on the duty of representing the City of Montevideo for the next year at various festivals around Minnesota and South Dakota.
They will participate in local community events to promote volunteerism and leadership within the community of Montevideo. At the end of their reign, each individual will be awarded a scholarship to use for schooling. If the royalty fulfill all duties throughout their year-long reign, one representative will be selected to have the opportunity to attend Minneapolis Aquatennial as a candidate as well.
