Queen of Candles 2024

This year marks the 83rd Queen of the Candles Pageant. The Pageant is sponsored by Listrak and arranged by the Lititz Women’s Club. Twelve young ladies all members of the Warwick High School Class of 2024 are selected by their classmates through a secret ballot. The individual who received the most votes serves as the Queen and the others as her Court. The honor of being chosen as the Queen remains a secret until the last moment of the Pageant when the floral arrangement is placed upon her head. The newly crowned Queen lights her candle and lights the candles of her Court. Lititz Boy Scouts light their torches from the lighted candles and pass the light to those who will light the colossal display of over 4500 candles that create the grand illumination of the Park.
