Beaver Queen Pageant

The Beaver Lodge Local 1504 proudly hosts the Beaver Queen Pageant, Durham’s special mix of folly, pageantry, and humor. Contestants take on beaver personalities and compete for the title of Beaver Queen with their fashion, talent, and stage presence. The theme for the 21st Annual Beaver Queen Pageant is "Free to Beave".

Join the fun in Duke Park with a preshow at 4pm and the pageant at 5pm; wearing a costume and/or beaver tail is optional but encouraged. There will be music, the Poetry Fox, a Scrap Exchange craft table, food trucks, and much more!
