For over one hundred years the citizens of Pacific Grove have celebrated its history and culture with a summer festival called the Feast of Lanterns. This Festival has evolved over its 100-plus year history from the ceremonial end to the Chautauqua Assembly with a lantern parade to the beach and fireworks over the bay to a multi-cultural community event filled with entertainment.
Today, with its traditions intact, it continues to provide family entertainment and educational experiences for the community it serves, plus scholarships for community-spirited, active middle school and high school girls who are selected each year to reign over the Festival as the Royal Court
The Royal Court is selected from applicants by a committee of local business people, former Royal Court members, and Board members based on several factors, including academics, community service, extra curricular school activities and general personal interests. As members of the Royal Court, the girls are instructed in public speaking and the history and culture of their hometown, and are required to participate in community activities throughout their year-long reign.
The Feast of Lanterns is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, with an all-volunteer Board of Directors. The proceeds of the festival each year, minus operating expenses, fund an academic scholarship program for the Royal Court.
