We are so excited to announce the contestants for the 2024 Jr. Miss Marigold and Miss Marigold Pageant! 

Five outstanding young women from our community will compete to be crowned our 48th festival queen and win a $3,000 scholarship. 

This will also be the first year in our pageant’s history that we crown a Junior Miss Marigold! Our inaugural class of six contestants is exceptional! 

Additionally, we have more than 20 Mini Marigolds in this year’s mentoring class who will participate and be crowned during the pageant. 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 10 and get your tickets now because you are not going to want to miss this night and the official kickoff to the Bicentennial Marigold Festival!
