44th Lunar Rendezvous Festival --- Coronation Ball July 25, 2009

In 1949, Harry Winston introduced his “Court of Jewels”, which was an unprecedented exhibit of the most spectacular jewels in the world, to the public. Now, 60 years later, the 44th Lunar Rendezvous Festival introduces its own “Court of Jewels” during the Coronation Ball. This event will be held on Saturday, July 25th, 5 pm, at the Galveston Convention Center at San Luis, 5222 Seawall Blvd., Galveston.

The Festival Court is comprised of Princesses, Lieutenants, Little Ladies-In-Waiting and Young Pages who have been busy helping with Festival events throughout the summer. The Queen, Queen Alternate and Captain who will represent the Bay Area for the coming year will be announced and presented during the ball. A seated dinner and dancing to the music by “The Navigators” will complete the evening’s activities. Tickets are $125, per person. Please contact Kelli McCorkle Byrd, 713-622-3900 or kmbyrd@wadecocpa.com, for more information.
