PRIDE ROYALTY

Pride St. Louis is honored to crown Pride Royalty each year during our annual Royalty Pageant held at River City Casino. 

Our Royals play an essential role in bringing PrideFest to life, dedicating their time and talent to help make the event a success.

Entertainers are encouraged to compete in the category that best represents their identity. The pageant features five categories: Presentational Pride Wear, Formal Evening Wear, On-Stage Question, Talent, and Fundraising. Contestants perform before a panel of five judges selected by the Pride Royalty Committee.

Pride Royalty operates under the direction of the Royalty Committee. This program is designed for individuals who want to make a meaningful impact in the community through fundraising, volunteering, and representing Pride St. Louis throughout the year.

Text in rainbow colors reading "LOVE WHO YOU ARE" with a rainbow heart, followed by the River City Casino & Hotel logo and location in St. Louis, Missouri.
