The Royal Suite includes:

• The May Queen

• Her Royal Maids

• And the Royal Knights, who serve as Honour Guard

These young ambassadors will play a key role during the 155th May Day Festival on Saturday, May 24, 2025, held at Queens Park Stadium. They’ll be introduced before an enthusiastic crowd, participate in the ceremonial procession, meet local dignitaries, and dance the traditional Maypole and Royal Lancer dances — just as generations have done before them.

Participation in the Royal Suite is more than just a role — it's a rite of passage, a celebration of community, and a joyful expression of living culture that continues to thrive through the support and enthusiasm of local families.

The May Day Association is committed to making this event inclusive, diverse, and welcoming, creating meaningful connections across generations while honouring New Westminster’s rich cultural heritage.
