An important part of the Bower tradition is our Bower Royalty. Every year several girls compete to become the next Bower Queen. The chosen queen then takes pride of place in the Bower procession and represents the area during the year that follows.
In addition to the Bower Queen, children are able to compete to be crowned Bower Princes and Princesses.
