Members of the 2026 Royal Court will serve as ambassadors of the Tournament of Roses, the Pasadena community, and the greater Los Angeles area, and will each receive a $7,500 educational scholarship. The selected young ladies exemplify character, service and leadership modeled through their commitment to family, school and community.
Royal Court members experience countless benefits, including personal development programs designed to enhance their public speaking and presentation abilities, boost self-confidence and refine their etiquette skills. Royal Court members are provided with opportunities to actively participate in the community, make positive contributions and discover ways to connect with local leaders.
The 2026 Royal Court will ride down Colorado Blvd. on the Royal Court float in the 137th Rose Parade presented by Honda and attend the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential, both on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
