The South Side Fall Festival Royalty Contest returns on Saturday, September 13, 2025. Children and teens ages 4–17 are invited to compete for age group titles and the coveted Grand Supreme Winner. This year’s theme is the Roaring Twenties, so contestants are encouraged to bring out their best 1920s-inspired outfits—flapper dresses, vintage suits, and glamorous accessories.

Check-in will take place from 10:30 to 10:45 a.m., with the contest beginning promptly at 11:00 a.m. The event will be held at Evolution UMC, located at 202 West Hyde Park Avenue.

Advance registration is required. To sign up, email ssffroyalty2@yahoo.com (include your child’s name and age in the subject line) or stop by 3003 South Belt Highway. Please note that email responses will not be sent until August 8.

This long-running tradition is proudly sponsored by All In Lawn Care LLC, whose support makes the Royalty Contest possible year after year.
