The Three Oaks Flag Day Parade Committee is excited to announce the 2024 Flag Day Prince and Princess Pageant will be held on March 3, 2024, at 2pm at The Acorn in Three Oaks, Michigan.
This annual contest brings local kids aged 6-11 together for a fun afternoon of dancing, interviewing, and the crowning of the coveted title Flag Day Prince and Princess!
“It is the cutest event of the year,” said Flag Day Chairman, Heather Whitlow. “The kids have a blast with each other, and it is so much fun to see the winners’ smiling faces riding in the parade.”
The Flag Day Princes and Princess are honored with a ride in the Flag Day Parade and appearances at community events such as the Flag Day Hog Roast and the Three Oaks/River Valley Pageants.
“This year we are over joyed to announce that the contest and winners may be featured in a documentary about Flag Day!” said Parade Chairman, Dyane Thomas. “The Shea’s are working to create a documentary about Flag Day in Three Oaks, and we are thrilled to be part of the process and include the new royalty in it.”
There is an informational meeting for the Flag Day Prince and Princess on February 2, 2024, at 6:30 pm at the American Legion Post 204. Contestants must be between 6-11 years of age. For questions email Heather at whitlowheather@gmail.com.
